In March 2016 Spanish Interpol issued an international search and arrest warrant for Vladislav Reznik and his wife, Diana Gindin. The spouses together with 26 alleged members of Tambov Gang are accused of participation in a criminal organisation and money laundering. Resnik's lawyer, Alexander Hofstein dismissed the accusations as politically motivated. According to him the arrest of a Russian Duma deputy is impossible.[5][6]
In May 2016 the National Court, Spain's top criminal court, ruled in favor of Vladislav Reznik's appeal and revoked the international arrest warrant for the couple[7]
The lawyer Alexander Hofstein commented that Court's decision is logical because there were no reasons for the warrant in the first place.[8]
