Legal Assistance in Removal from Interpol's International Wanted Lists
If a Russian, Belarusian, or Ukrainian citizen is urgently sought after by their home country, it’s almost certain that they won’t be left alone even after leaving their country and moving abroad. Most commonly, the authorities from the country they left will attempt to bring them back. The most frequent reason for such intense efforts to extradite someone is often the desire to reclaim their business, money, or other assets.
If the pursuers are persistent, the extradition process can be extremely lengthy, sometimes lasting years. Another method of complicating the life of an undesirable individual is placing them on Interpol's wanted list. Essentially, this means declaring the person internationally wanted, allowing for their arrest anywhere if they are located.
One might obtain asylum within a country and live relatively peacefully, but the risk of arrest becomes very high when trying to cross borders or enter another country. Therefore, let’s discuss in more detail what Interpol's lists are and how to deal with this issue.

Based on the experience of our association, ARGA, it can be stated that the inclusion of individuals on Interpol’s lists is almost always related to political persecution. This is because only a member state of Interpol, such as Russia, can initiate such a listing. If a country insists on applying such sanctions against its citizen, it is unreasonable to deny that it is a politically motivated action.
If your pursuers are not influential enough, they will never manage to get you listed on Interpol's lists. If it does happen, it is likely that you have powerful enemies at the highest levels. Do not despair, but be prepared for a serious and prolonged struggle if you want to achieve the desired outcome and have your name removed from the lists.
It is important to note that often the inclusion of a person on Interpol's lists is illegal even by the standards of the initiating country. However, most CIS countries openly disregard legality when it comes to returning and prosecuting a person. Thus, you will have to contend with an entire corrupt law enforcement system. It is essential to not tackle this alone. The key to a good result is the team you choose to work with. If you are unsure who to turn to, this is a very common situation. Indeed, few handle such cases, and it is not enough to simply understand the laws at a high level; you also need to be able to withstand the immense pressure placed on both the individual and their defending lawyers.
Our association, ARGA, offers comprehensive services to protect individuals from wrongful prosecution. We provide a full range of measures that can assist in such cases, from legal defense in court to measures aimed at personal and property security. We will do everything possible to resolve the most challenging situations and assist with cases that most lawyers would shy away from.

Who Can Initiate Inclusion on Interpol’s Lists
Why Choose the ARGA Association
Our specialists can communicate easily in any language you are comfortable with. For many individuals facing persecution in Europe, the opportunity to discuss their issues with a specialist in Russian or Ukrainian is invaluable. This is because most lawyers in Europe typically work in English, French, or German, and using a translator does not achieve the level of understanding necessary for handling such complex cases.
Additionally, we support our clients in any situation, even when new problems arise during the process. While removing oneself from Interpol's list is already a serious issue, it is often associated with a range of other problems, such as persecution by creditors abroad and threats of extradition and arrest. Addressing all these issues requires a comprehensive approach, which is exactly what we offer.
To achieve this, we will take the following steps:
Provide Representation in Courts: Such cases always begin in courts, and to change the situation, numerous court hearings will need to be won. Additionally, a mechanism often used is legal harassment, which involves initiating a large number of cases to keep the individual constantly occupied and stressed. Our first step will be to take this burden off you and handle it ourselves.
- Appeal Court Decisions: Many court decisions, especially in CIS countries, are entirely unlawful, but proving this is not straightforward. We will need to go through a process known as "exequatur," which involves testing the court decisions against international legal standards.
To achieve removal from Interpol's lists, it is also necessary to go through legal channels. Specifically, the Association “ARGA” is prepared to appeal the decision to list an individual to the European Court of Human Rights. This judicial body focuses on ensuring that human rights are not violated, and pursuing someone via extradition and Interpol represents one of the most severe breaches, especially if the person's guilt has not been proven in the eyes of the European Court.
Is it possible to achieve removal from Interpol lists?
Is it even realistic to achieve removal from such lists? There are very few precedents for this. Initially, Interpol lists were used to include only notorious criminals who truly needed to be found and punished. Later, some countries began using this tool for personal purposes, such as targeting their political enemies. The procedure for removal from Interpol lists for reasons other than capturing and arresting the required citizen is not well-developed, which complicates the process significantly.
At the same time, it is important to understand that removal from the lists is not an end in itself or even the only goal. More often, a broad range of measures is required to make the citizen’s life more stable, allowing them to conduct business or engage in their preferred activities without undue stress. In other words, the objective is not only to achieve removal from the lists but also to ensure that even if a person remains on these lists, they can live a normal life without constant fear.
