What legal standards does Interpol apply when reviewing Red Notices for financial crimes?

Interpol evaluates requests against Article 3 of its Constitution, which prohibits involvement in matters of a political, military, religious, or racial character. For white-collar cases, the key criteria include sufficient evidence of criminal conduct, compliance with minimum penalty thresholds (typically imprisonment of at least two years), and proportionality between the alleged offence and international police cooperation. The Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files also assesses whether the notice respects fundamental human rights standards, including the presumption of innocence and protection against politically motivated prosecutions disguised as financial crime allegations.
