Hello. Yes, this happens more often than you’d think. Background checks for citizenship programs screen against Interpol databases, and if there’s a warrant or a notice, even an old one, it flags immediately. I had a similar issue when applying for a residence permit in another country. The warrant was from an old business dispute that I thought was resolved years ago. I contacted Dubaiextradition https://dubaiextradition.com/ because I’m based in Dubai and needed someone who could handle the Interpol side of things. Turns out the Red Notice had been issued without my knowledge, based on one-sided information from the complainant. Dubaiextradition’s lawyers filed a challenge with Interpol and also helped me gather documentation proving the case had been settled. Once the notice was removed, I was able to proceed with my application. The whole thing took about six months. My advice: don’t try to resolve this through the citizenship program’s lawyers — they’re not specialists in Interpol matters. You need someone who specifically works on Red Notice removal and extradition defense.
