An international search warrant has been issued for Aleksandr Shifrin, the former head of Eldorado, Russia's household electronics chain.
The Russian Prosecutor General’s office requested Interpol put him on their international wanted list for tax evasion.
The Russian tax office has been keeping a close eye on the retailer since 2006, and reports say Eldorado could have withheld up to $440 million dollars in taxes.
Two other former employees are also suspected of involvement in tax evasion.
Shifrin, 40, headed the company from 2002 to 2007.
Founded in 1994, Eldorado is a chain of more than one thousand household electronics stores across Russia and Ukraine.
Currently, the main shareholder of the company is Aleksandr Yakovlev.

I Agree with count cash our country has become a haven for war criminals terrorists and fraudsters that our goverment refuses to extradite under warrant. unless its to america.
Count Cash, as a Briton I would love to disagree with you but can not. London is the traditional destination of every crook from arround the world that as ripped off his country. The crooks usually come from the old British colonies but lately everyone is welcome. Claim political asylum and you will get at least five years before your case is even seriously considered with good chance of getting a permanent residence especially if you are loaded. Please understand that this had cost us here a lot in reputation, finance, crime and worse of all giving the right wing nazi parties like the BMP a foot hold in politics.
