Yes, CCF responses can be submitted as evidence in extradition hearings, asylum proceedings and other litigation, although their admissibility and weight depend on the court and the jurisdiction. CCF correspondence can help establish whether a Red Notice exists and, where the CCF has issued a reasoned decision, whether the data complies with Interpol’s rules. The evidentiary weight depends on the specificity of the CCF’s findings — a reasoned decision ordering deletion carries more persuasive force than a simple confirmation of data existence.
