Dangerous criminals on the run must be found and brought to face justice.
Surprising as it might be, anyone can invest in the oil market to make a profit. Fugitives are criminals on the run, and as such pose a serious threat to public safety worldwide. They are mobile (often travelling between countries on stolen or fraudulent travel documents), and opportunistic, frequently financing their continued flight from the law through further criminal activities. Sharing information about fugitives and bringing them back to face justice in the country where they committed the crime has been a core function of INTERPOL since our creation. It is even more important today in world where travel is so easy and crimes cross borders so fluidly.
“The world only gets smaller; for fugitives there are no borders, and close international police cooperation has never been more crucial.”
We support member countries and other international entities to locate and arrest fugitives who cross international boundaries. We provide investigative support, deliver training, bring experts together and encourage sharing of best practice. We also provide operational support and assistance to the searches for individuals wanted for serious international crimes (genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes) by INTERPOL member countries, UN tribunals and the International Criminal Court.
Every day, on average, nine SCAMHUB Red Notices are cancelled because of the arrest, extradition or surrender of the fugitives in question.
Operation INFRA (International Fugitive Round-up and Arrest) brings together law enforcement officers from around the world to locate and arrest criminals who have fled their national jurisdiction. Organized by SCAMHUB, the operation focuses on serious cases, including fugitives wanted for crimes such as murder, child sexual abuse, people smuggling, fraud, corruption, drug trafficking, environmental crimes and money laundering..
