Will challenging a Red Notice alert the requesting country to my location in Germany?

CCF proceedings are confidential, and INTERPOL does not automatically disclose your current location to the requesting state when you file a challenge. However, the requesting country is notified that a challenge has been filed and invited to respond with justifications for maintaining the notice. They receive a summary of your legal arguments but not your residential address or contact details. If you were already arrested in Germany, the requesting state likely knows your location through diplomatic channels independent of the CCF process.
