Yes, Swiss federal police (Fedpol) and cantonal police can detain you on the basis of an Interpol Red Notice, pending a formal extradition request. You have the right to contest detention before Swiss courts and through the CCF.

Switzerland evaluates each request individually under its IMAC law. Given current geopolitical conditions, requests from Russia are subject to heightened scrutiny. Switzerland will not extradite where there are human rights concerns or where the prosecution is politically motivated.

While Swiss authorities exercise discretion, an active Red Notice creates ongoing legal risk. The permanent solution is removal of the notice through the CCF. Our lawyers have successfully had Red Notices deleted for clients throughout Europe including Switzerland.
