Take Control of Your INTERPOL Matter

An INTERPOL Red Notice is not an arrest warrant, nor does it establish guilt. Rather, it is an international alert circulated to law enforcement authorities in 196 INTERPOL member countries, which often results in serious practical consequences, including travel restrictions, banking disruptions, and significant reputational harm.

Successfully challenging an INTERPOL Red Notice or Diffusion requires specialised legal expertise, a carefully structured strategy, and in-depth knowledge of INTERPOL’s Rules on the Processing of Data (“RPD”).

We represent individuals affected by potentially abusive, politically motivated or otherwise non-compliant INTERPOL Red Notices and Diffusions.

Legal requests to determine whether personal data or a Red Notice exists within INTERPOL’s databases. Not all Red Notices are publicly available, and therefore, an Access Request is, in most cases, a crucial first step.

Strategic submissions to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files where an INTERPOL Notice is politically motivated, militarily or religiously linked, abusive, or violates INTERPOL’s legal framework.

Strategic legal representation in submitting pre-emptive requests to the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files to proactively protect clients from the potential misuse of INTERPOL systems before any Red Notice or alert is issued. This preventive defence places the General Secretariat on notice of possible rule violations and strengthens any future request for access, correction, or deletion of data.
