A Red Notice can be challenged and deleted through the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) where it breaches INTERPOL's own rules — its Constitution, the accuracy of the data, or the requirement of political neutrality. We build and file the deletion request, and represent you through the CCF's review. We take on a matter only where we see real grounds, and we make no promises of outcome.
A business conflict reframed as a criminal case by a state acting for a former partner or competitor.
Prosecution that is predominantly political in character, or a trial process that fails fair-trial standards.
A notice with no valid arrest warrant, expired limits, or charges unsupported by a judicial decision.
The CCF process is slow and we do not promise timelines outside our control. What we do control — the quality of the file and the speed of our own work — we keep transparent.
We assess the type of measure and how realistic a challenge is. Before any engagement.
We document breaches of the Constitution, the motive, and procedural defects.
We compile and file a reasoned deletion request with full legal argument.
We respond to CCF queries throughout. If refused, we prepare a review.
Prohibits any activity of a political, military, religious or racial character — the core ground in cases of persecution.
Requires activity in the spirit of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Fair-trial violations are a working argument.
No valid arrest warrant, insufficient data, expired limits, or failure to meet publication criteria.
Fabricated charges or a commercial dispute dressed up as a criminal case.
No. A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement to locate and provisionally detain a person with a view to extradition. It does not oblige any country to arrest, and it is not a judicial decision.
Under the CCF Statute, deletion requests are decided within nine months of admissibility, and access requests within four months. In practice delays occur. We do not promise dates outside our control.
Formally yes, but the outcome depends heavily on the quality of the legal argument. A weak first file lowers the chances even on review — and there is no appeal against a CCF decision.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. The outcome depends on the circumstances and the Commission's decision. We give an honest assessment before any engagement and take on a matter only where we see real grounds.
