What to do if you are wanted by Interpol? - Lawyer's help

Interpol is an international criminal police organization. One of the tasks of Interpol is to join forces between all criminal police agencies within the framework of the legislation of different countries in the fight against criminal crime.

Most often, a person does not even know that he is wanted by Interpol, and learns about it only when crossing the border, when he is already detained. The main priority of submitting an international wanted person is to achieve the goal of criminal proceedings and bring people to criminal responsibility either in absentia or by extradition. If a person is in the Interpol information system as a wanted person, then in Ukraine he was notified of the suspicion, and the court issued a court order on the application of a preventive measure in the form of detention.

However, the occurrence of such circumstances does not indicate their unconditional legality and legality and may be challenged in court.

If the relevant prerequisites are met, a person can be notified of suspicion and choose a preventive measure in the form of detention even during his/her absence from Ukraine.

If a person is identified as wanted by Interpol channels, the following events may occur in Ukraine:

• detention of a person;
• personal search;
• drawing up a report on the detention of a person;
• transfer to law enforcement agencies;
• delivery to the court to resolve the issue of arrest;
• in case of extradition request, actual extradition.

In this case, you definitely need the urgent help of a professional lawyer in criminal proceedings. Undoubtedly, detention in connection with an international search is an unpleasant procedure. But the shortcomings of actions taken by law enforcement agencies to publish a wanted notice in the Interpol databases give us grounds for deleting such information about the Client.
