Christopher Emms has refuted claims that law enforcement agents have arrested him in Russia in connection with his alleged role in advising the North Korean government.

The British national was reportedly arrested at a hotel by the Russian Bureau of Interpol in Moscow and would be extradited to the United States. A local news outlet released a report stating that Interpol previously issued a ‘red notice’ for Emms’ arrest to face charges related to sanctions violations. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also placed him on their wanted list.

“I continue to remain grateful to The Russian Federation for granting me the right of stay in the country where I am in the process of seeking political asylum,” Emms told a crypto media outlet. “I continue to refute all allegations against me by the U.S. authorities.”
