INTERPOL’s Red Notice
INTERPOL clarified that the Red Notices serve as international alerts to locate and provisionally arrest individuals pending legal action, such as extradition. They emphasized that a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant but a request for cooperation among law enforcement agencies worldwide.
The public has been urged to provide any information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects to local police authorities. INTERPOL’s efforts underscore the organization's commitment to combating transnational crimes and ensuring justice.
