Frecuentemente solicitamos acciones preventivas ante INTERPOL: protección legal antes de una Notificación Roja

International defense when freedom is at stake

At Venfort Lawyers, we have been more than 20 years of experience in the most sensitive areas of international criminal law, defending businessmen, executives and former senior officials when an INTERPOL alert threatens their freedom, mobility and personal and professional stability.

Our practice has been developed in real cases of high international exposure, such as airport detentions, politically motivated red alerts, economic instrumentalization and urgent preventive actions to avoid the activation of unjust notifications.

We act regularly in key jurisdictions as the Persian Gulf, Europe, Latin America, United States, Mexico, Venezuela, United Kingdom, Russia, China and India., always under strict standards of confidentiality and respect for the attorney-client privilege.

Our experience translates into concrete results:

90%

Success rate

In the elimination of dozens of INTERPOL alerts and the effective restoration of our clients' freedom of movement. In recent years, we have also incorporated specific strategies for Silver Notices, aimed at locating and protecting assets in complex proceedings.

CCF

Direct intervention

Direct intervention before the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL's Files (CCF) in cases of political or economic persecution or serious violations of due process.

CPI

DR. Alan ALDANA

Led by Dr. Alan Aldana, international lawyer accredited as a litigator before the International Criminal Court, Venezuela and Spain, consultant to local firms in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, and lead counsel and legal coordinator in dozens of defenses before INTERPOL.

RED

INTERNAL Experience

Experiencia interna en INTERPOL: Colaboramos de forma permanente con un ex-funcionario de la Oficina de Asuntos Jurídicos de INTERPOL (Lyon), con quien hemos trabajado decenas de casos complejos ante la CCF. Esa perspectiva interna — conocer los criterios reales con los que INTERPOL evalúa las solicitudes — es una ventaja que muy pocos despachos del mundo pueden ofrecer a sus clientes.

Contamos con el respaldo estratégico de experto asesor ante comités de las Naciones Unidas en materia de derechos humanos y persecución internacional para casos excepcionales.

real consequences of an INTERPOL alert

An active alert can have immediate and devastating effects:

  • Detention at airports or borders, even in transit
  • Severe restrictions on international mobility
  • Blocked assets and banking difficulties
  • Personal, family and corporate reputational damage.
  • Constant international surveillance

Often, these mechanisms are instrumentalized for political or economic purposes, The company's legitimate purpose of criminal cooperation is not being pursued.

How we intervene:

  • Legal analysis the alert and its compliance with INTERPOL's standards
  • Preparation of pleadings solid before the CCF
  • Strategic coordination with national authorities
  • Elimination requests, suspension or preventive measures
  • Specific defense in the face of Red, Green & Silver Notices in highly sensitive contexts

Our method of defense

  1. Confidential initial review
  2. Legal and strategic analysis
  3. Submission of pleadings to INTERPOL
  4. Continuous monitoring and international protection

Success stories

United Arab Emirates - Red Alert

“Como director de una corporación internacional con operaciones en Emiratos Árabes Unidos, fui detenido en un  aeropuerto de Dubai a raíz de una alerta roja injustificada.

Dr. Aldana's team proved to INTERPOL that this was an economic persecution and succeeded in having the red alerts issued against me and the members of the group's board of directors removed.

Today I can travel and operate internationally with complete peace of mind.”

“Como asesor financiero, fui objeto de una alerta claramente motivada por razones políticas. Venfort demostró mi inocencia ante Interpol y consiguió la eliminación de la orden de aprehensión. Recuperé mi libertad y mi tranquilidad.”

“Se intentó promover una alerta roja contra mí. Venfort actuó antes de que se publicará, evitó la alerta y demostró que la causa estaba prescrita. Nunca fui detenido ni vi afectada mi movilidad internacional.”

“I suffered constant deportations. Venfort credited that the alert was unfair and disproportionate and the CCF ordered its removal. Today I am once again able to travel without fear with my family.”

Why choose A Venfort Lawyers?

Because not all firms can take on this type of defense.

Because when INTERPOL comes into play, specific expertise makes all the difference.

Because freedom does not admit mistakes or improvisations.
