Our last post detailed the next steps a former Red Notice subject should consider following a successful deletion of their data from INTERPOL’s files. While a Red Notice deletion constitutes a significant victory with life-altering consequences, a deletion does not…
Miami, Florida, U.S.A. – Estlund Law has successfully obtained the removal of two Red Notices requested against our clients by the People’s Republic of China.

This series has examined the structure of INTERPOL’s various bodies and the responsibilities that each body holds.
