Quick Answer
An Interpol lawyer in France defends individuals facing Red Notices, extradition requests, or Interpol diffusions while residing in or travelling through France. France is bound by the ECHR and the European Convention on Extradition. French courts conduct an independent review of every extradition request — refusing those that violate human rights or lack dual criminality. Our lawyers appear before French courts and file CCF challenges at Interpol in Lyon to obtain Red Notice deletion.
