Can US courts consider Interpol Red Notice challenges as part of extradition defence?

US extradition proceedings operate independently from Interpol CCF proceedings. Federal courts evaluating extradition requests under bilateral treaties apply domestic standards — primarily the dual criminality requirement and treaty compliance — rather than Interpol’s RPD rules. However, a successful CCF deletion can be introduced as persuasive evidence that the underlying case lacks legitimacy or violates international norms. US courts have occasionally referenced Interpol compliance issues when assessing the bona fides of a requesting state’s case, particularly in politically sensitive matters. Pursuing parallel CCF and extradition defences simultaneously is standard practice in complex cases.
