McNabb in the News

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb is featured in a Voice of America report on Yevgeny Adamov.
Douglas McNabb is a defense attorney with McNabb Associates, an international criminal defense firm with offices in the U.S. and Europe.

"The U.S. wants him because of the outstanding charges. Russia wants him apparently because this gentlemen may have information about the nuclear program that they want to make sure that the U.S. doesn't get hold of. "



Mr. McNabb offers a possible explanation. "I don't think that the U.S. government at this point wants it disclosed that there is a possibility that one of the options available to Mr. Adamov is that he may cooperate with the government."



Mr. McNabb disagrees. “My view of Mr. Adamov's case is that this isn't a political case; this is a law enforcement case. That he has been charged with criminal activity. Now, as a result of his being charged with criminal activity, he may very well disclose to the U.S. government information that the U.S. government could use politically."[1]
