decided “[t]o admit the request for extradition of [Ms. J.] made by the National Criminal Chamber”
and to request Germany to extradite Ms. J. 206
119. On August 22, 2008, the Cologne Higher Regional Court decided “[t]o declare inadmissible
the extradition of [Ms. J.] for the purpose of her criminal prosecution based on the request to find
and arrest her of November 5, 2007.” The justification for this decision was that “the extradition
would violate the prohibition to try someone twice for the same offense.” 207
120. On December 19, 2008, Ms. J. asked the General Secretariat of INTERPOL to remove the red
notice (order to seek and arrest) from her name arguing that it was illegal. 208 The Commission for
the Control of INTERPOL’s files considered this request admissible in July 2009 and, in November
2009, INTERPOL decided to erase from its files the information on Ms. J. forwarded by Peru. 209
E.6 Publications on the facts of the case in the media
121. Following Ms. J.’s detention in 1992, various newspaper articles were published on her
presumed links to Shining Path. 210 Furthermore, the file of this case contains several newspaper
articles published in Peru, especially in 2007, 2008 and 2012, which include statements by senior
State authorities about Ms. J. and the criminal proceedings against her. 211

In particular, Ms. J. indicated that the red notice had no substantive validity because the statute of limitations was in
effect for one of the offenses, as well as no substantive validity, because the facts were res judicata. Cf. Request of Ms. J. (file of
