Extradition: Russia

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have given to law enforcement agencies regarding actions to pursue on Interpol Red Notices issued by Russian authorities.

Answer

The Government has a long-standing policy to neither confirm nor deny (NCND) the existence of a Red Notice or Diffusion against any named individual. This includes how individual Notices or Diffusions are handled by law enforcement officers. This is in order to support the functioning of our judicial processes. This policy is also applied by the National Crime Agency.
