Red Notices are INTERPOL’s requests to law enforcement agencies worldwide that they locate and provisionally arrest wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar legal action.

Public collaboration required

INTERPOL further urges members of the public to provide any information about these suspects to local police immediately.
