Does France share arrest information with the country that requested the Red Notice?

Yes. When French authorities arrest someone pursuant to an Interpol notice, the NCB in Paris notifies Interpol’s General Secretariat, which in turn alerts the requesting country’s NCB. This happens within hours of arrest. The requesting state then has a deadline — usually 40 to 60 days under most bilateral treaties — to submit a formal extradition request with supporting documentation. During this window, the requesting country learns your location, detention status, and legal representation, which may affect asylum or protection strategies.
