Miami, Florida, U.S.A. – Estlund Law clients and owners of a major re-insurance company (“Partners A and B”) are now free of the Red Notices that the Russian Federation had previously obtained against them. The details of the case are found here.
When the partners learned that they were the subjects of an INTERPOL Red Notice, they contacted Estlund Law for representation to seek the deletion of the notices. Estlund Law prepared and submitted a deletion request for both Partners. The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s files (“CCF”) issued its decision in January of 2026.
The CCF stated in its decision to delete the notices:
“…the Applicants by comparison provided a clear and substantiated trajectory in support of their argument that their case falls within a larger context of a nationalization campaign on insurance companies…The response of the NCB…does not adequately rebut the overall description provided by the Applicants on this general context of the arbitration that related to the same facts.”
“[The CCF] identified some doubts over the existence of a political aspect” and in its conclusion stated “the lack of coherent and sufficient information on the facts of the case…coupled with the questions raised above on the possible existence of a political dimension…determines that the diffusion request fail to meet [the requirements] for data quality and a clear description of criminal involvement, and that its examination of the character of the case raises concern as to their compliance with Article 3 of INTERPOL’s Constitution.”
Estlund Law and the Partners welcome this news; the Partners look forward to moving on with their business and personal lives free from the immobilization that accompanies a Red Notice subject status.
As always, thoughts and comments are welcomed.
