Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has been withdrawn from Interpol's "most wanted" list following complaints from his legal representatives that the criminal charges brought against him were politically motivated. The controversial former leader, who stood down from power in the aftermath of civil unrest in February 2014 and has been wanted since January 2015, had what's known as a Red Notice against his name for "misappropriation, embezzlement or conversion of property by malversation," the old charges claimed.
