Interpol Wanted Persons List – Interpol Notice Thailand

With experienced legal counsel, you can request access to the data INTERPOL holds, identify procedural violations, and challenge the validity of the Notice before the Commission for the Control of Files (CCF). Successful challenges can lead to deletion or limitation of the Notice, restoring your freedom of movement and repairing the damage to your personal or corporate reputation.

What is the Interpol Wanted Persons List?
The Interpol Wanted Persons List is a public database that compiles the names of wanted fugitives charged by an international tribunal or national jurisdiction. The list helps law enforcement authorities in Interpol member countries to locate and detail a person pending extradition and subsequent legal procedures. The Interpol General Secretariat regularly updates this list and partially publishes it on Interpol’s official website, primarily based on Interpol Red Notices.
The Wanted Persons List is part of the public database published on the Interpol official website. It includes the full name of wanted individuals, photographs, basic information such as nationality and date of birth, a brief case description, the offense, the requesting member country, and the legal category of the notice.
The main reasons why a person may be included on the Interpol Wanted Persons list in Thailand include:

After receiving a request from a member country to issue a notice and reviewing it for compliance with Interpol rules, the notice is recorded in the I-24/7 system. This is an internal database accessible only to law enforcement worldwide in Interpol member states.

If the requesting country asks for public dissemination, the notice will be added to the public list. However, if the request is denied or involves politically sensitive contexts, the notice will remain internal (but can still be used at immigration checkpoints, banks, or for visa issuance).

If your name appears on the list or you suspect a notice has been issued, you should take immediate legal action. Our team is ready to assist you in verifying whether your information is recorded in the Interpol database, submit an access request to the CCF Commission, challenge the notice, and advocate for the deletion of your name from the list.

All these databases are integrated into the I-24/7 system, which serves as a secure and continuous information exchange network among member states. Interpol’s data is stored at its headquarters in Lyon, as well as regional servers and hosts with the highest cybersecurity standards.

Data is input by National Central Bureaus (NCBs), which are designated agencies in each country serving as Interpol contact points. They initiate the publication of notices, send cooperation requests for locating individuals, verifying identities, tracking objects, and updating case statuses. In some cases, data may also come from international partner organizations.

The Interpol wanted list database operates in real-time. Every country connected to the I-24/7 system can receive instant updates, modify existing case files, apply filters, and use alert systems to track the movements of suspects or relevant objects.

The Interpol database is used daily in various situations, such as:

Even if a notice is not published publicly, records in the closed database can still have consequences, such as arrest, denial of entry, or asset freezing.

Some notices are published publicly on Interpol’s official website, which serves as the public registry of Red Notices—international wanted alerts with requests to arrest and extradite suspects. In the Wanted Persons section, various filters can be used to search, such as full name, gender, nationality, date of birth, requesting country, and more. Click “Search” — the results will appear below.

If the person searched is on the public most wanted list, an information card will be displayed with a photo, date of birth, nationality, case type, and requesting country. However, not all notices are shown on the website, as some are confidential and involve politically sensitive cases. Therefore, even if your name does not appear in the public registry, it does not mean you are not wanted internationally.

To obtain official confirmation, you must request information from the Commission for the Control of Files (CCF). The Access Request is a formal mechanism that allows individuals to find out if their personal data is stored in Interpol’s database and, if so, what type of notice, the requesting country, and the legal basis. The request may be filed by the individual or by an authorized lawyer.

In general, responses are received within 2–6 months. If a notice exists, you will obtain crucial information to prepare for challenging it.

Consulting a lawyer is the fastest and safest way to receive support when suspecting a notice. A lawyer will help with preliminary information searches, filing the official request with the CCF, advising on potential impacts, and, if necessary, starting the appeal process immediately.

The main condition for publishing a Red Notice is the existence of a valid arrest warrant issued by a court, prosecutor, or authorized law enforcement agency. Interpol requires that the warrant be lawful and accompanied by additional information, including the legal classification of the offense.

The publication of a request is initiated through the National Central Bureau (NCB) of the requesting state, which coordinates with Interpol. The NCB submits requests to track a person’s location, provisionally arrest them, and assist in extradition before court proceedings or similar legal action. The requesting national jurisdiction may also specify whether the notice should be public or confidential. Even if the notice is not published on Interpol’s website, it can still be used in international operations and border checks.

Interpol publishes notices only in cases considered serious and within international jurisdiction, such as terrorism, trafficking narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, murder and violence, sexual crimes, fraud and financial crimes, corruption and money laundering, cybercrime, and organized crime. Furthermore, the case must meet the principle of double criminality, meaning the act must be a criminal offense in both the requesting country and the country where detention is expected.

Despite filtering and verification, Interpol cannot prevent errors or political misuse. Sometimes, individuals with similar names, incorrect birthdates, or mismatched photos may be recorded in the database, leading to unlawful arrests, visa denials, asset blocks, and reputational harm.

Even though Interpol prohibits the use of its system for political, religious, or racial purposes, some governments still exploit it to pressure political opponents, journalists, and human rights defenders. Refugees and asylum seekers may be recorded internationally at the request of their country of origin.

Many criminal cases are filed with baseless accusations and political motives. In such cases, you need a qualified lawyer to file a complaint with the CCF (Commission for the Control of Files), challenge the warrant, and protect your freedom, reputation, and financial interests.

Being recorded in the Interpol database may result in denial of boarding on international flights, visa cancellations, or entry bans. It can prevent obtaining residency, citizenship recognition, or asylum, and may lead to being flagged in databases of airlines, immigration agencies, and banks.

Particularly concerning are cases where Interpol notices intersect with sanctions. Possible impacts include freezing of bank accounts, denial of international financial transactions, suspension of financial operations, bank account closure, difficulties registering companies, or real estate transactions. Many banks and financial institutions automatically screen clients against Interpol databases, especially under strict risk-control and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

Before submitting a deletion request, it is essential to determine which Interpol rules have been violated. Then, supporting documents must be collected to show that the notice was politically motivated, economically motivated, or otherwise unfounded. It is also necessary to identify procedural defects, such as the absence of a valid arrest warrant, conviction without fair defense, or illegitimate prosecution.

A lawyer will help prepare critical legal arguments and structure the petition correctly to ensure it is considered. The request must be submitted to the CCF Commission, an independent body responsible for reviewing individual petitions. The request must include the applicant’s personal details, a factual statement, reasons why the notice violates Interpol’s rules, references to Interpol’s Constitution and international law, and supporting evidence.

After registering the request, the CCF notifies the requesting country, reviews submitted documents, and may request additional materials. The final step is a closed vote to decide whether to accept the request, reject it, or limit access to certain parts of the notice. The review process usually takes between 6 months and 1 year.

The CCF will issue a decision, and if the request is accepted, the notice will be deleted or its access restricted in Interpol systems. However, most member countries apply their own laws in detaining and surrendering the requested individuals.

Therefore, removing your name from the database is a complex legal process requiring correctly drafted petitions, strong supporting evidence, professional legal positions presented to the CCF, timely responses to requests for information, and close monitoring of communication with Interpol. Errors in drafting, lack of evidence, or procedural flaws may lead to rejection of the request.

The first step in a defense strategy is the legal analysis of the notice and case facts. A lawyer will examine:

At this stage, the lawyer collects documents, judgments, warrants, and other evidence. Your lawyer will also analyze public and confidential data, build a comprehensive evidence base, and include translated human rights reports, refugee status documents, and more. All this information is compiled into a reasoned case file ready for submission to the CCF or for legal defense at the national level.

The next crucial step is the official submission to the CCF, the independent authority. The lawyer drafts the petition in Interpol’s official language, sets out legal arguments referencing CCF practices, attaches relevant evidence, cites international law and case precedents, complies with formal requirements and deadlines, and communicates with the CCF on behalf of the client.

Additionally, the lawyer coordinates with national authorities. For example, if the client is detained, the lawyer will participate in extradition proceedings, apply for changes to preventive measures, or appeal temporary detention orders.

If the requested individual is detained by the police abroad, the lawyer will urgently liaise with local counsel, file applications for release, block extradition if contrary to international standards, and support the client in consular and immigration matters. When necessary, a qualified lawyer can immediately submit a deletion request in cases of severe violations.

Without professional support, petitions may be rejected on formal grounds, and the client’s rights may be violated during critical periods. An experienced lawyer is your best representative, rights defender, and strategist to prevent severe consequences.
