Interpol notice defence

We help check for alerts, prepare filings to the Commission for the Control of Files (CCF) and build a defence in extradition requests.

Typical situations

A bank closed an account after a database check
A criminal case at home is linked to politics, business or a conflict
An extradition request has been made

Legal basis

Why a notice can be challenged

Article 3 of Interpol’s Constitution bars any intervention of a political, military, religious or racial character. Notices must also comply with Interpol’s data-processing rules and human-rights standards.

If a country’s request does not meet those rules, the CCF may find it non-compliant and order the data deleted.

Important: the Commission decides, not the lawyer. We do not promise an outcome — we prepare the strongest available case and give a frank view of the prospects.
