Interpol Lawyers France

France, as a key member of INTERPOL since 1923, plays a crucial role in international law enforcement cooperation. The country’s strategic position in Europe and its advanced legal system make it a significant player in combating transnational crime. International Interpol lawyers at Interpol Law Firm navigate complex legal landscapes, address issues ranging from Red Notice removals to extradition defense. Our expertise is essential in ensuring justice and protecting individual rights within the framework of international law enforcement.

INTERPOL in France

INTERPOL’s National Central Bureau (NCB) in Paris is an integral part of the Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire (DCPJ), or National Criminal Police. The director of the DCPJ also serves as the head of the NCB, ensuring seamless coordination between national and international law enforcement efforts. The day-to-day operations of the NCB are managed by the DCPJ’s International Relations Department (DRI), which comprises officers from various national agencies, including police, gendarmerie, and customs services.

The NCB Paris operates through a network of specialized officers deployed to national operational units. These officers manage requests for international police cooperation and specialize in specific crime areas such as organized crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, financial crime, cybercrime, and trafficking in works of art. This structure allows for efficient handling of complex international cases.

A key component of the NCB Paris is the DRI’s Extraditions Office, which deals with INTERPOL diffusions and Notices, including Red Notices, during their national operational police phase. Working directly with the Ministry of Justice, this office coordinates arrests and extraditions, ensuring that France fulfills its international obligations while respecting legal procedures.

Organized crime in France

Organized crime in France is primarily concentrated in major cities such as Marseille, Paris, Lyon, and Grenoble, as well as the island of Corsica. These urban centers are hotspots for various criminal activities, with national criminal organizations increasingly collaborating in their illicit enterprises. The predominant focus of these networks has shifted towards drug trafficking and its associated crimes, including financial crime.

Law Enforcement in France

Law enforcement in France is primarily centralized at the national level, with two main national police forces: the Police Nationale and the Gendarmerie Nationale. Both forces operate under the authority of the Ministry of the Interior and are tasked with protecting individuals and property from a wide array of threats, including organized crime, drug trafficking, terrorism, illegal immigration, and cybercrime.

Within these national forces, specialized units focus on specific areas of crime:

  • Judicial Police (Police Judiciaire): Handles the investigation, prosecution, and punishment of criminal offenses, including gathering evidence and conducting interrogations under the supervision of investigative magistrates.
  • Administrative Police (Police Administrative): Ensures the maintenance of public order and crime prevention, including directing road traffic and managing street demonstrations.
