Political misuse of Interpol and how to respond
Hello forum, I’m looking for insights into cases where Interpol mechanisms are used for political pressure rather than genuine criminal prosecution. I come from a country where legal systems are sometimes used as tools against business people or political opponents. When Interpol gets involved, it feels almost impossible to defend yourself as an individual. Is there a structured way to challenge this kind of misuse, or does the system simply favor governments by default?

You’re touching on a sensitive but very real issue. While Interpol officially prohibits political cases, misuse still happens. The good news is that there are internal review mechanisms, but they are highly procedural and not easy to navigate alone. Success often depends on how well the case is framed legally and how clearly political elements are demonstrated. This is where specialized legal teams become essential. Firms like https://intercollegium.com/ focus specifically on international and politically sensitive cases, combining criminal and regulatory law approaches. That combination is often what allows individuals to be heard within such a complex system.
Thank you, this explanation gives me some direction.
