How to withdraw from the Interpol wanted list? How to remove a person or car from the Interpol wanted list?

International wanted is one of the most common tools for abuse in various criminal cases. In most cases, a person does not even know that he is wanted by Interpol and learns about it at the moment when he wants to cross the border. If you or, for example, your car is wanted by Interpol, the lawyers of our company "PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS" will help you find a way out of this situation.

Let's start with what Interpol is. Interpol is an international criminal police, one of whose tasks is the coordination of international investigations.

To fulfill its tasks, Interpol ensures the coordination of the network of law enforcement agencies in different states. Interpol publishes a list of people who are assigned "notices", that is, cards marked with different colors:

• Yellow card - search for missing persons.
• Blue card - collection of information about persons suspected of committing a crime.
• Green card - notification of persons who have already committed crimes dangerous to society.
• Red card – locating and arresting a person who is wanted for further extradition and other legal actions.

How to get out of Interpol's wanted list: practical advice from a lawyer

If a person is wanted, Interpol assigns him a Red Notice, that is, a "red card". For law enforcement agencies, this is a request to search for and further detain a person.

According to the many years of work experience of the lawyers of our company "PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS", the appeal against the receipt of a red card is carried out through the extradition procedure. Yes, we will get more opportunities to study the charge, find and provide grounds for refusing extradition.

Important: extradition of a person at the request of other states in Ukraine is not mandatory. The issuance of an identity may be refused in the following cases:

• A person is a citizen of Ukraine, has received asylum in Ukraine or refugee status.
• The statute of limitations for prosecuting a person has expired.
• Extradition is against the interests of Ukraine's national security.
• There are other grounds provided by international treaties.

If grounds have been established to remove information about a person from the Interpol database, we will help to do so as quickly as possible.

Important: even after refusing extradition, Interpol may not cancel the "red card". This is due to the fact that the refusal of one state is not a reason for removal from the Interpol search database. If, for example, Ukraine refused extradition, another country can do so.

In summing up, it should be noted that detention in connection with an international search is an unpleasant procedure, but it is not a reason for panic.

To avoid stressful situations in connection with unexpected detention when crossing the border, it is worth applying preventive measures, that is, checking in advance whether there is no information about the search and assignment of a red card in the Interpol databases.
