What is an Interpol Red Notice in Dubai?

An Interpol Red Notice is an international request seeking the location and arrest of an individual suspected or convicted of a serious crime, with the purpose of their subsequent extradition. While a Red Notice does not hold the legal authority of an international arrest warrant, it is considered a valid basis for temporary detention within the UAE. Upon receiving a Red Notice, local authorities are required to verify its legal foundation and then either detain the individual or inform the requesting country and transfer the case to the relevant court. The notice includes essential details about the person, the crime committed, the initiating country, and a request for detention upon their discovery.
