Our last post addressed how INTERPOL notices can be reissued using the case of Luis Guaman as an example.
Mr. Guaman’s Case: Legal Conflict Between Jurisdictions
In Mr. Guaman’s case, after he fled to Ecuador, the U.S. obtained a Red Notice and requested his extradition to New York, where he is wanted for…
Here’s an odd fact: sometimes an inquiry alone can lead to a Red Notice removal.
INTERPOL’s CCF (the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files, discussed here) is an unusual venue in which to represent clients. Its purpose (human rights and due process observation in the context of a law enforcement support organization) is…
Estlund Law is proud to share the news that INTERPOL has removed the Red Notice in the name of our client, Derek Ong, a former executive at Deutsche Bank.

In the last post, we began a discussion on the issue of confidentiality in requests for Red Notice removals to the CCF.
When a Red Notice subject requests removal of a Red Notice, he is obliged to explain to the CCF why he is entitled to relief, and that explanation often involves reference to…
