Red Notice defence
I act for people whose records were filed by states that misuse the organisation — most often Russia, Belarus and Uzbekistan. You work directly with me, not with an intake desk.
Dmytro Konovalenko Attorney-at-law
Is this your situation?
Most people find out by accident — at a border, in a bank, in a refusal letter. These are the situations I hear about most often.
You were stopped at a border and told there is an alert against your name.
Your bank closed your account and gave no reason.
A visa or residence permit was refused without explanation.
You know a criminal case was opened abroad and you expect what comes next.
You have no confirmation of anything — only the feeling that something is wrong.
The legal basis
Figures of the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files for 2024.
A record is removed when it is shown to breach the organisation's own rules. The rules are not decorative.
Political prosecutions, cases dressed up from commercial disputes, proceedings that violate basic fairness — all of these are grounds for deletion.
The decision is taken by the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files, an independent body in Lyon. It is not a court, it has its own procedure, and the quality of the file you put before it decides the outcome.
In 2024 the Commission decided 539 requests for deletion on the merits and found 272 of them non-compliant with its rules.
Four steps
Every case follows the same order. What changes is the ground for deletion and the evidence it needs.
You send what you have. I tell you whether there is a case — including when there is not.
We establish what the organisation actually holds about you.
The file is built on the ground that fits your case and filed.
Confirmation that the data is deleted, and what it changes in practice.

Questions
Short answers to what people ask first. Your own case needs a look at the documents.
Request an assessmentYes. The Commission deleted the data in 272 of the 539 requests it decided on the merits in 2024. The outcome depends on the ground and on the quality of the file.
Most cases run several months. The Commission sits in sessions, and a request has to be ready for the one it is filed into.
No, and nobody honestly can. What I can tell you after reading the documents is whether a case is worth bringing.
No. These matters are run remotely; documents and signatures are handled electronically.
It is usually invited to respond. This is part of the procedure and is addressed in the strategy from the start.
