Shepelev was staying in Hungary under a Hungarian passport made out to a false name.

An international warrant for his arrest was issued in January.

The charges against Shepelev stem from the spring of 2012, when persons unknown fired shots at Serhiy Diadechko, a former shareholder of Ukraine’s Rodovid Bank, in a village near Kiev, injuring him and his driver.

Shepelev is also suspected of embezzlement.
