Interpol Lawyer in the UAE

Yes. UAE authorities check all travellers against Interpol databases including the Red Notice list at all ports of entry. Arrests at Dubai International Airport (DXB) are common. If you have any reason to believe a Red Notice may exist against you, do not travel to the UAE without first obtaining legal advice and conducting an Interpol database check.

Immediately. UAE detention without charge can last up to 48 hours before a prosecutor must be informed, but this can be extended in extradition cases. Delays in obtaining legal representation significantly prejudice your defence. Call our emergency line at +357 96 447475 as soon as possible — we are available 24/7.

Yes. Extradition from the UAE can be contested before UAE courts on grounds including the political nature of the offence, risk of unfair trial or torture in the requesting state, failure to meet dual criminality requirements, statute of limitations, and other procedural defects. Our lawyers advise on the specific grounds available in your case and represent you through UAE extradition proceedings.

The UAE may still extradite on the basis of reciprocity or ad hoc diplomatic arrangements — even without a formal treaty. The absence of a treaty significantly increases the legal arguments available to resist extradition, but it does not eliminate the risk entirely. Legal advice is essential to assess your specific situation.

Yes, and we recommend it. A CCF complaint challenging the Red Notice (Interpol’s internal process) runs in parallel with UAE extradition proceedings (UAE court process). A successful provisional measures request to the CCF can directly support your position in UAE court. Our lawyers manage both tracks simultaneously for maximum effectiveness.

No. Transit passengers are subject to the same database checks as arriving passengers. Dubai is one of the most active transit arrest points in the world for Red Notice subjects. If you have or suspect you may have a Red Notice against you, do not transit through any UAE airport without first obtaining legal advice.
