A Red Notice is an international request for the location and provisional arrest of a person for extradition purposes. Although it is not an arrest warrant in itself, many countries treat it as such, which can result in automatic detentions, travel restrictions, and severe reputational damage.
Yes. It is possible to request the cancellation, correction, or deletion of a Red Notice if it violates fundamental rights or does not comply with the criteria established by Interpol’s Rules on the Processing of Data.
There are several situations where a Red Notice is unlawful or improper:
1. Political Motives or Persecution
Interpol prohibits issuing alerts when there are indications of persecution based on political, military, racial, or religious grounds.
2. Statute of Limitations or Closed Case
If the criminal proceedings have been closed, archived, declared time-barred, or the arrest warrant has been withdrawn in the requesting country.
3. Violations of Due Process
When it is demonstrated that the issuance of the notice violates the right to defense, the presumption of innocence, or the principle of double jeopardy.
4. Granted Political Asylum
If the affected person has been granted international protection or asylum in another country for the same facts.
The request must be submitted to the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF), the body responsible for overseeing the legality of data processing within Interpol.
