Clearing Criminal Charges to Lift INTERPOL Red Notice for Corporate Clients

Client Type and Situation:
A group of clients were subject to an INTERPOL Red Notice due to criminal accusations in another member country. These accusations created significant legal and travel difficulties for the clients, as they were defendants in an ongoing criminal case. The outcome of this case would determine the validity of the Red Notice.

Approach and Research:
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the situation, reviewing police reports, legal documents, court decisions, and arrest warrants. Understanding that the Red Notice would only be valid if the charges stood, we collaborated closely with the client’s legal team in their home country to monitor the progress of the case and strategize accordingly.

Steps Undertaken:
We worked in coordination with the client’s local attorney, assisting in the effort to achieve a full acquittal. After successfully clearing the clients of all charges in court, we promptly submitted a petition to INTERPOL. This petition included the necessary legal proof of the charges being dismissed and argued for the removal of the Red Notice.

Outcome:
Following our petition and supporting documentation, INTERPOL acknowledged the cleared status of our clients and promptly removed the Red Notice. As a result, our clients were able to resume their corporate activities and international travel without further legal restrictions.
