Can Turkish authorities arrest me at the airport even if my Red Notice has a pending CCF challenge?

Yes. A pending CCF challenge does not suspend the Red Notice or prevent Turkish border authorities from acting on it. Turkish immigration systems are connected to INTERPOL databases, and officers at Istanbul, Antalya, and other major airports routinely check arriving passengers. Until the CCF issues a final deletion decision — which typically takes 9–12 months — the notice remains active and visible. Clients with pending challenges should carry documentation of their CCF submission and any interim correspondence, along with evidence of the political nature of their case, to present immediately upon any detention.
