The international policing body will decide this week whether to approve the request from the Russian authorities to issue an "All Points Bulletin" for founder of Hermitage Capital Management.

Browder is at the heart of a diplomatic stand-off over the alleged killing of whistle-blowing lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
The death of Magnitsky, who died at the age of 37 after being beaten and then denied essential medical treatment, has become a symbol of corruption in Russia.
Browder was a prominent Russian investor before being barred entry in 2006. The following year, Magnitsky unearthed evidence of a huge alleged tax fraud by a criminal group that included officials in the police and tax authorities, and went public.
He was later jailed on disputed tax evasion charges and died in prison in November 2009. Browder has since campaigned for justice and sparked a major diplomatic row and prompting the United States to impose visa bans and freeze the assets of officials involved in the alleged killing.
