INTERPOL DIFFUSIONS AND RED NOTICES

Issuing a diffusion, commonly referred to as an Interpol Red Notice, is a relatively straightforward process accessible to almost all member countries. These notices serve to alert member countries about individuals wanted for extradition or other legal actions. However, Interpol's rules strictly limit the issuance of Red Notices for cases involving political issues, military offenses, and private disputes such as economic and business matters.

MISUSE OF INTERPOL RED NOTICES

Despite these restrictions, some countries misuse Red Notices to target political opponents, business rivals, or competitors. This misuse can lead to significant personal and professional harm, as well as unjust persecution. In some instances, countries lacking proper criminal law qualifications may issue baseless criminal cases, further exacerbating the misuse of Interpol's system.

PROTECTION FOR REFUGEES AND ASYLUM SEEKERS

Individuals facing a well-founded fear of persecution due to race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion can apply for asylum. For such individuals, the presence of an Interpol Red Notice can be particularly troubling. However, if an asylum application is under consideration, the Red Notice can be deleted or suspended, providing some relief to the applicant.

RED NOTICE

"Red Notice" is a formal alert issued by Interpol to seek the location and arrest of a wanted person, typically based on a valid arrest warrant issued by a member country. It is easily accessible for public viewing on the official Interpol website.

DIFFUSION

On the other hand, a "diffusion" is an informal alert circulated through Interpol's global police communications network. Unlike Red Notices, diffusions are not publicly accessible and are primarily used for law enforcement purposes. Despite being less visible to the public, diffusions play a significant role in disseminating information about individuals or objects of interest to law enforcement agencies worldwide.

THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR YOU

REQUEST FOR ACCESS

PREVENTIVE REQUEST

The "Request for Access" option to obtain information about whether they are subjects of Red Notices, diffusions, or any other alerts. This process helps individuals stay informed about their legal status and take appropriate actions if necessary.

REMOVING AN INTERPOL RED NOTICE
AND DIFFUSION

Professional Lawyers can challenge its validity by submitting a request to the Commission for the Control of Interpol's Files (CFF). This commission has the authority to decide on the notice's validity based on INTERPOL's Constitution and the Rules on the Processing of Data.

"Preventive Request" is an option designed to allow individuals to proactively take steps to prevent the issuance of a diffusion or Red Notice against them by Interpol or other law enforcement agencies. This mechanism typically involves individuals providing relevant information or documentation to authorities to demonstrate their innocence or resolve any misunderstandings that could potentially lead to their inclusion in such alerts.
