Can I file a Preventive Request if I have already been questioned by authorities in another country?

Yes, being questioned abroad does not preclude filing a Preventive Request — in fact, it may strengthen the application by demonstrating an active and imminent threat. If foreign authorities have contacted you pursuant to a mutual legal assistance request or informal inquiry from your home country, this indicates cross-border cooperation is already underway. The CCF will consider this as evidence that an Interpol notice is likely forthcoming. Documentation of the questioning, including any official summons or interview records, should be included in the submission to establish the concrete risk of notice issuance.
