If Ukraine withdraws its Red Notice request, will Interpol automatically delete the notice?

Not automatically. If Ukrainian authorities formally request withdrawal through the Interpol National Central Bureau in Kyiv, Interpol’s General Secretariat will typically process the deletion within days to weeks. However, withdrawal requests must come through official channels, and informal assurances from Ukrainian prosecutors or investigators are insufficient. Additionally, if the notice was already under CCF challenge, […]
