@lory do you have any details? Who "owes" the money (person or company) and what are the claimed criminal charges? What do the lawyers say, are the criminal claims substantiated or is it the normal "hot air" case?

Like in any good divorce, a criminal case likely wont hold/cant be constructed since they were probably pretty close.
So, either the lawyers are good at billing or theres indeed something which sticks.

Things have changed. Your fate depends on whether the Sheikh had sex or not the night before and the relationship between country of extradition and UAE current geopolitical interests.

Countries usually do not like to extradite, especially when the victims are not the state but other individuals. Most countries do not extradite a person convicted under 1, 2, 3 years. Depending on the country, you cannot be extradited from Switzerland for a sentence under 2 years, I believe. The USA and Canada, I believe, do not extradite for sentences under 5 years. I know cases when a person forced 15 employees to take out bank loans in their name, for themselves, and then moved from Romania to the Netherlands. The victims sent photos from Facebook and showed pictures including the school where their daughter went in the Netherlands. They were never extradited to Romania.
generally, countries have extradition agreements that establish the conditions under which individuals can be extradited. Typically, a country will not extradite someone for minor offenses or short sentences. It is possible that certain countries have different rules regarding extradition based on the length of the sentence. It is important to check the specific laws for each country to confirm the details.

Im wondering the same... I have an expat friend here in Poland who got scammed by his accountant. Now he is worried that they will throw him into pre-trial without being able to explain that it was not him doing it. What can this friend do? What would be the best countries to go to? He was considering buying a Vanuatu passport, but not sure if that will still work in 2025, since they cancel those often nowadays...
Maybe try to solve the issue directly with the court. If that does not work, renew the passport and then apply for a visa to live elsewhere. Maybe @NewHorizonsParaguay can help you?
The accountant did it in such ways that it is hard to proof otherwise... my friend is collecting proof though, but it might not be enough... the accountant used his company as part of a carousel scam while he had a POA.
The biggest problem in this is that my friend is a single father and when they would put him into pre-trial detention (like they always do with non-polish) they would instantly see the child has no guardian anymore (the stepmother has zero rights) and they would remove him. He has been looking at countries where he could easily arrange for the stepmother to get power, but it is a very difficult thing to arrange it seems (only through adoption and that takes years).
Btw, I thought Paraguay is not a good option for this?

You mean your company was involved in a VAT carousel that your accountant was running?
Yes, that's the way to go. Just check with them what happened, they will be able to see quickly what VAT has been filed and then you can compare with your own data. Maybe, nothing happened in the end. And if, then your company would only have been used as pass-through for the invoicing as otherwise, you would have to pay VAT or get back from the scam, in both cases they money would go into your bank account.
Check VAT statements filed vs. what should have been filed. If you see 1M passing through your company, then you can alert the authorities and tell them where to catch your accountant.
Not how it works. Read

The visa will probably expire before you receive the permit, and if you overstay the permit will be denied.
You will be checked from head to toe. Don't try to play it smart with Russia.

Strange enough I didn't see any EU VAT statements... but the EU VAT account is now open for one year and I believe that without any statements it gets closed within three months...
I asked my new accountant to close the EU VAT account, but I think damage has been done already. Too many strange things happened (like my accountants name as the beneficiary on my VAT declarations, while the company name automatically gets filled out in Comarch.... and I received the VAT-5UE registration of someone else (founder of multinationals over here)).
I wonder... are there any options left?
I need some country in which I can easily fight endlessly (>7 years) with a lawyer.... I need to fight at least until my son is 18, so it is less of a problem when they would jail me...
Would Paraguay be an option for this strategy?
What do you mean by EU VAT? You mean the polish VAT Reg No?
I would first check and see. Just moving to Brazil or Thailand is also not making the life of your son better.

For a "Shared Values Visa" you apply at a Russian Consulate and if successful are given a 3 month Private visa. When in Russia you then apply for a temporary residence permit (TRP). A police report is needed with this TRP application. It is not a problem if you 3 month Private visa expires while you TRP application is being processed; that is not an overstay.
Please share your experience with applying for such permit.
