Stirling deletes another Qatar Interpol Red Notice

This week, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) removed the name of a British entrepreneur from its Red Notice database, after a successful appeal was launched by IPEX Reform against his wrongful listing.

Radha Stirling, founder and CEO of IPEX Reform and Detained in Dubai, said in a statement about the case, “Our client’s removal from Interpol is a great relief for him and his family after the almost decade-long ordeal they suffered because of corruption in Qatar. After starting and operating a successful gym business in Doha, our client was approached by a local investor with promises of support and expansion, only to then have that same investor sabotage the business, force its closure, and fabricate charges against our client to prevent him from pursuing justice.

“He was tried and convicted on these false charges in absentia and his name was wrongfully listed with a Red Notice on the Interpol database. His life has been turned upside-down both by the malice of a fraudulent business partner and corruption of the Qatari legal system, but also by the negligence of Interpol itself, which continues to accept Red Notice requests from notorious and habitual abusers of the system, like Qatar and the UAE, without due scrutiny.”
