Collateral Consequences of an Interpol Red Notice | Federal Criminal Defense Attorney Explains

So what are the consequences of having a red notice against you? I mean, is it just that you can't travel internationally? Is it just that you have to fear being arrested in a foreign country? There actually are other things that can occur when you have a red notice issued against you. These are called, like, collateral consequences of having a red notice against you. So, for example, If there's a red notice issued against you, the banks may freeze your account at the direction of a government. If you are seeking a visa of some sort, a red notice would be a basis upon which a government can deny you that visa. If you have a professional license, like you're a physician or an attorney, I mean, that can also be denied. So there are kind of a number of other things that can occur if you have a red notice. And so it's not just a matter of traveling freely, although that is a huge, huge issue here, but there are some collateral consequences to also be aware of.
