Generally, the principle of ne bis in idem prevents re-arrest on identical grounds within Italian jurisdiction once a court has ruled on the extradition request. However, this protection has limits. If new evidence emerges or the requesting country submits a fresh extradition request based on different charges, Italian authorities may act again. Additionally, the Red Notice remains valid internationally until deleted by Interpol — meaning arrest in another country remains possible. Full protection requires obtaining CCF deletion of the underlying notice, not merely a favourable Italian court ruling.
