How long does it typically take for the CCF to decide on a Russian Red Notice challenge?

The CCF process for challenging a Russian-issued Red Notice generally takes between 9 and 18 months from submission to final decision. Complex cases involving extensive documentation or multiple legal issues may extend beyond this timeframe. The CCF operates in sessions throughout the year, and case allocation depends on submission date and completeness of the file. During this period, the notice typically remains active unless urgent interim measures are granted — which requires demonstrating imminent irreparable harm, such as pending extradition proceedings or detention.
