Request to the Commission for the Control of Interpol Files (CCF) and deletion of information from the Interpol database
Illegal use of the Interpol system is the main reason for turning to a team of qualified lawyers. In order to achieve a fair solution to a specific issue, you need to carefully study all the details, familiarize yourself with the latest information and important facts. The main subject of the Interpol red card was one of the businessmen from Azerbaijan. Our specialists took all measures to investigate this case.
False Fraud Accusations: Case Features
Our client was a businessman from Azerbaijan who, as a result of a corporate conflict, faced a problem – a red card was issued and he was placed on an international wanted list by Azerbaijan. One of his business partners provided false information, accusing our client of fraud. As a result, a number of financial claims were made, according to which the victim claimed that he was deceived because he did not receive a profit from the projects in which he invested his own money. We are talking about goods that were sold in the markets of several foreign countries.
However, our lawyers carefully studied all the reasons for the Interpol search at the request of Azerbaijan and found out the following: the victim demonstrated inconsistency in his stories. Initially, information was submitted that he was deceived and all the goods were stolen from the warehouse. After that, he indicated that a contract was initially drawn up, according to which he voluntarily transferred his own goods for further sale.
Despite all the confusion in the testimony of the victim, our client was arrested in the UAE, taking into account the conditions of the international search by Azerbaijan. However, the extradition was still denied – the Dubai prosecutor’s office questioned all the evidence provided in the case, and the court upheld this refusal. The main arguments in favor of our client are:
- lack of clearly stated information on the case from the victim;
- lack of necessary documents confirming the fact of fraud.
Thus, it was possible to prove that all accusations of fraud are considered false.
The Commission’s Decision
Our team of lawyers prepared a request to the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF) in order to understand this matter and make a fair verdict. The results of the Commission’s review confirmed that the information that was provided to Interpol for the search by Azerbaijan was incorrect and incomplete. Thus, there were not enough grounds to issue a red card to our client, accusing him of fraudulent activities. All this led to the fact that the data was removed from the Interpol database, the red notice was cancelled, and our client was given the opportunity to freely move between different countries, continuing to do his business.
