INTERPOL, Red Notices And Extradition

In a later blog post Gherson subsequently explained how to answer key questions for people who fear they may be subject to an INTERPOL Red Notice, specifically:

1. Am I subject to an INTERPOL Red Notice?
2. How can I remove an INTERPOL Red Notice?

Now, stepping back and looking at the issuance of Red Notices from a broader perspective, this blog post will explore the interplay between INTERPOL Red Notices and extradition, before advising on steps to take to implement a holistic strategy.

Red Notices and extradition

Our initial blog outlined how a Red Notice can be issued prior to, and in fact as a precursor to, the requesting member state issuing extradition proceedings. Indeed, INTERPOL describes a Red Notice as " A request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action ". Red Notices and extradition can therefore perhaps be said to go hand-in-hand.
