Pitfalls for immigrants

Many countries have resorted to the help of Interpol in order to return the fugitives to their jurisdiction. For this, information about a specific person is entered into the database and a “red notice” is issued, urging other countries to assist in the identification and arrest of the wanted person.

The usefulness of Interpol is undeniable, but the trouble is that some countries use this organization in the fight against political opposition. It also happens that the authorities of a member country of Interpol start a fabricated criminal case against a dissident or human rights activist. And when this person leaves his country, the police file a request to Interpol to create a “red alert”.

How can we help

Our firm has repeatedly filed a petition with Interpol to pay off the “red alert” issued against our client. This is painstaking work because the petition must be justified. We need to show the true reasons why the requesting country issued a “red alert” to Interpol.

Very often, we invite a recognized expert on the applicant country, who discloses the mechanism of prosecution by the authorities of the applicant country for dissent or political activity. It is extremely useful in such cases, an expert lawyer who analyzes the procedural and other violations in the pre-trial investigation committed by the authorities talks about the dependence of the courts on law enforcement agencies and the inability for the client to achieve a fair trial. We work with experts in a number of countries and find their help in such matters invaluable.

Against a number of our clients seeking asylum in the United States, Interpol issued a “red alert”. In such cases, it is unacceptable not to file a petition with Interpol to cancel the “red alert”, since the US Immigration Service certainly checks the Interpol database for many asylum seekers.
