I have invested heavily in real estate here but I am worried about a legal dispute in Europe affecting my residency. If there is an Interpol Red Notice issued, will the Dubai police automatically arrest me at my home? Can they seize my local property assets if I am fighting an extradition request from another country? Does the UAE protect investors from these types of international warrants or should I be worried?
Property investment usually gives you some stability, but an Interpol notice is a different beast altogether. Usually, if a Red Notice is circulated, you are at risk of arrest during any routine check or at the border. As for the assets, it depends on whether there is a freeze order attached to the warrant. You should definitely check out the resources at https://extraditionlawyers.ae/ to see how they protect high-profile investors. They have experience in preventing forced transfers and dealing with Interpol’s private databases. I have read that the UAE won’t extradite if the act isn’t a crime here too, which is the dual criminality rule. It is worth having a legal audit of your situation just to be safe. It is always better to manage the risk now than face a nasty surprise later.
