What happens if I am arrested on a Red Notice before the CCF decides my case?

Arrest triggers domestic legal proceedings separate from the CCF process. You will typically face provisional detention while the requesting state submits a formal extradition request, usually within 40–60 days depending on the jurisdiction. The CCF complaint continues in parallel but does not automatically suspend local proceedings. However, a pending CCF case can strengthen arguments before domestic courts, particularly if you can demonstrate prima facie Article 3 violations. Courts in the UK, Germany, and France have previously refused extradition or granted bail partly based on credible CCF challenges showing political motivation.
