What evidence is most effective when challenging a Russian-origin Red Notice before the CCF?

The CCF responds to documentary evidence demonstrating procedural violations in the underlying Russian case: absence of proper notification of charges, prosecutorial conflicts of interest, or court proceedings conducted in absentia without valid service. Independent expert reports on Russian judicial conditions carry significant weight, particularly regarding pre-trial detention practices and conviction rates. Evidence of the requester’s political exposure — media coverage, connections to opposition figures, or business disputes with state enterprises — strengthens Article 3 arguments. Certified translations and apostilled documents are mandatory; the CCF rejects improperly authenticated submissions.
