QUESTION: In the book "Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice" @Billbrowder tells a thrilling tale of the ridiculous lengths the #Kremlin has gone to try to get him in custody. So, what is a #RedNotice? Follow this thread for the answer.
ANSWER: Red Notices are issued by @INTERPOL_HQ, the International Criminal Police Organization. It's made up of 194 member countries.
A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.
It contains two main types of information:
1. Information to identify the wanted person, such as their name, date of birth, nationality, hair and eye colour, photographs and fingerprints if available.
2. Information related to the crime they are wanted for, which can typically be murder, rape, child abuse or armed robbery.
Red Notices are published by INTERPOL at the request of a member country, and must comply with INTERPOL’s Constitution and Rules. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.
