Stirling Secures Interpol Red Notice Removal and Supports Immigration Visa with Expert Testimony

March 2025 – Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Dubai and the IPEX (Interpol & Extradition) Reform initiative, has successfully secured the removal of a wrongful Interpol Red Notice issued by the UAE in connection with a civil banking dispute. In addition to clearing her client’s name, Stirling provided expert testimony in support of his US immigration visa application that was in jeopardy over the Red Notice, helping restore the client’s freedom to travel and rebuild his professional life.

The case involved a long-term Gulf resident who was wrongfully listed on Interpol’s database over a voided security cheque, despite having formally restructured the underlying loan with the bank. The cheque, rendered invalid under the new agreement, was later used to obtain a conviction in absentia, triggering an international alert through Interpol.

Stirling submitted a comprehensive legal petition to ensure the Red Notice’s removal which was accepted by Interpol’s head office in Lyon.
