Will removing a Red Notice also cancel the arrest warrant in the requesting country?

No. A successful CCF challenge removes only the international alert from Interpol’s system — it does not affect the underlying domestic arrest warrant or criminal proceedings in the issuing state. That country retains jurisdiction over its own criminal case and may continue prosecution if you enter its territory or a country with bilateral extradition arrangements. In some cases, the domestic warrant can be challenged separately through local courts or diplomatic channels, but this requires a distinct legal strategy. Removal of the Red Notice eliminates the global reach of the warrant, not the warrant itself.
