Interpol Lawyer Poland | Red Notice Help

Poland is an active Interpol member state and a full participant in the European Arrest Warrant system. Polish border and law enforcement authorities regularly act on Red Notices and EAWs when flagged individuals enter the country. If you are subject to an Interpol Red Notice and travel to Poland, or if you are a resident of Poland and a notice has been issued against you, you face a genuine risk of detention and extradition proceedings.

Intercollegium’s lawyers provide immediate legal assistance for individuals caught in the Interpol system in Poland. We coordinate with experienced Polish criminal defence counsel and have a strong understanding of how Polish courts handle extradition requests. Our goal is to prevent provisional arrest, challenge the Red Notice at the CCF level, and protect your right to remain free.

Within the European Union, the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) operates separately from Interpol’s Red Notice system but is often used in parallel. Poland is required to execute EAWs from other EU member states, subject to certain grounds for refusal. Where a Red Notice originates from an EU country, Polish courts may face both an EAW and an Interpol notice simultaneously.

Our lawyers are experienced in mounting dual defences — challenging the Red Notice through the CCF while simultaneously opposing the EAW before Polish courts. Grounds for refusal include political motivation, double jeopardy, human rights concerns, and issues with the proportionality of the requested punishment. We assess each case individually and develop a defence strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.

Interpol’s Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF) provides the primary international mechanism for challenging Red Notices. The CCF reviews notices to ensure they comply with Interpol’s rules, particularly the ban on politically motivated notices under Article 3 of the Interpol Constitution. It also examines whether notices meet minimum evidentiary standards and whether the requesting country followed proper procedures.

Our team prepares detailed CCF submissions supported by legal analysis, documentary evidence, and expert opinions where required. We have successfully obtained the deletion and blocking of Red Notices for clients from post-Soviet states, the Middle East, and other regions where Interpol abuse is well-documented. A successful CCF challenge removes the notice from all member state databases and eliminates the risk of Interpol-related arrest in Poland and elsewhere.

If you are in Poland or planning to travel there and are concerned about an Interpol Red Notice, do not delay. The consequences of being detained at a Polish border or airport can be severe, and extradition proceedings can take months or years to resolve.
