What happens if I am detained at an airport on a Russian Red Notice?

Upon detention, local authorities will hold you while verifying the notice and assessing whether to initiate formal extradition proceedings. You have the right to legal representation immediately. The critical first step is ensuring local counsel files an objection to extradition and simultaneously notifies Interpol that a legal challenge is underway. Detention periods vary by jurisdiction — in Turkey, initial detention can last up to 40 days; in Germany, provisional arrest may extend to 60 days pending extradition documents. Coordinated legal action in both the detaining country and before the CCF is essential.
