Interpol has published international wanted persons’ notices for seven men in connection with the murder of a Russian businessman - and former Chechen militia commander - in Dubai last month.

The seven men, all Russian nationals, are wanted for 'crimes against life and health' in relation to the killing of Suleyman Yamadaev who was shot in Dubai on March 28.

Those named include Russian MP and former Chechen Prime Minister Adam Delimkhanov, Elimpasha Khatsuev, Marvan Kimaev, Salman Kimayev, Tirpal Kimaev, Zelimkhan Mazaev and Ramazan Musiev.

The request for Interpol to issue so-called 'Red Notices' followed a meeting between Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and Chief of Dubai Police, Lieutenant General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, during which issues aimed at enhancing co-operation were discussed.

''Our request for Interpol to publish Red Notices for these men is an essential part of our investigation into this shooting and underlines our commitment to find these men and bring them to justice,'' said Lieutenant General Tamim in a statement.

''These men are accused of plotting and carrying out a murder in the United Arab Emirates, and circulating their details worldwide on Interpol Red Notices means that other countries are fully informed and can take any appropriate measures within their own laws to detain or arrest the individuals and therefore protect their own citizens,'' said Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.

It was also agreed during the meeting between Secretary General Noble and Lieutenant General Tamim that Dubai police would second an officer to the Interpol General Secretariat headquarters in France.

''Dubai police’s decision to second an officer to Lyon is an important one and further underlines their commitment to international policing,'' said Mr Noble.

''The arrival of an officer from Dubai combined with our close collaboration with the Interpol National Central Bureau in Abu Dhabi is also extremely positive in terms of the safety for all citizens of the United Arab Emirates.''
