Can a Diffusion affect me in Georgia even if there is no Red Notice?

Yes. Interpol Diffusions are circulated directly between member states and may not appear in the central Red Notice database but can still be flagged in Georgia’s I-24/7 system. Georgian border officers have discretion to detain based on Diffusions pending clarification with the requesting state. Diffusions are particularly common from CIS countries as a precursor to formal Red Notice requests. We challenge Diffusions through the same CCF procedure, arguing they violate Interpol’s rules if based on political offences, disproportionate charges, or due process failures in the issuing state.
