Interpol Cases

At Mariam Bint Ahmed Advocates and Legal Consultations L.L.C., we specialize in handling complex Interpol cases, providing comprehensive legal services to clients involved in international criminal matters. As a trusted firm in the UAE, we offer expert advice and representation in navigating the intricate legal frameworks surrounding Interpol’s operations, including international extradition, red notices, and cross-border investigations.

Understanding Interpol and Its Role in International Law

The International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) is an intergovernmental organization that facilitates international police cooperation to combat transnational crime. It maintains a global database of criminal records and issues international alerts, known as Red Notices, to assist law enforcement agencies worldwide in locating and arresting individuals involved in serious criminal activity.

An Interpol Red Notice is a request for the location and provisional arrest of a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. However, it’s important to note that a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, and its legal status varies from country to country. This often leads to legal challenges, particularly in extradition cases.

Types of Interpol Cases We Handle

At Mariam Bint Ahmed Advocates and Legal Consultations L.L.C., we offer professional legal services for a wide variety of Interpol-related cases, including:

Extradition Cases

• Extradition Requests: We provide legal guidance for individuals facing extradition based on an Interpol Red Notice. Our team works diligently to challenge extradition requests if there are grounds to oppose them under UAE law or international treaties.
• Defending Extradition: Whether the extradition request comes from another country or the UAE itself, we analyze the details of the request and explore possible defenses such as political offenses, lack of dual criminality, or other legal obstacles to extradition.
• Bail Applications: If facing extradition, our legal team may assist in securing bail during the extradition process, ensuring that your rights are protected while proceedings are underway.

Interpol Red Notice Matters

• Challenging Red Notices: If you are the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, we can help challenge its validity or request its removal. Our lawyers are well-versed in international law and can assist in demonstrating that the Red Notice is unjustified or that the charges are politically motivated.
• Legal Advice on Red Notices: We provide clients with legal counsel regarding their rights when an Interpol Red Notice is issued against them, offering strategies to resolve the matter efficiently and in compliance with the law.

Cross-Border Criminal Investigations

• International Investigations: Interpol’s role is critical in investigating transnational crimes such as money laundering, organized crime, human trafficking, cybercrime, and drug trafficking. We assist clients involved in such investigations by ensuring their rights are safeguarded throughout the process.
• Assisting in International Cases: We have experience dealing with international law enforcement authorities to represent individuals involved in global criminal investigations. Our role is to protect your interests and ensure compliance with local and international laws.

Interpol Arrest Warrants

• Arrest and Detention Issues: If an individual is arrested based on an Interpol alert, it is crucial to understand their legal rights in the country of arrest. Our team works to ensure that any arrest made in connection with an Interpol warrant is lawful, and we help you understand the legal steps that follow.
• Appeals Against Detention: In cases where the arrest is deemed unlawful or unjustified, we will fight to secure your release, challenging the basis for detention and helping to clear your name.

Preventing Wrongful Arrests

• Wrongful Arrests Due to Mistaken Identity: In certain instances, individuals may be wrongfully arrested due to mistaken identity or inaccurate information in the Interpol database. We work diligently to resolve these issues, ensuring the prompt removal of any errors from the international police system.
• Seeking Remedy for Mistakes: If a person is wrongfully implicated in an international crime, we help them seek legal redress to clear their name and prevent future harm caused by incorrect information or fraudulent allegations.
