Investigating Interpol

Niall Paterson welcomes the team behind a new Sky News podcast onto the Daily. Reporter Sahar Zand and producer Heidi Pett have been investigating Interpol red notices for the series “Dirty Work”.

They’ve heard from people caught up in a system which allows police forces to flag their most wanted persons at international borders around the world. In some cases, those people are detained, imprisoned, and extradited, with devastating consequences.

They’ve also head from the Interpol Secretary General who says the organization is doing everything it can to protect innocent people from being wrongly targeted.

You can also listen to the new Sky News podcast Dirty Work: The Misuse of Interpol Red Notices here.

Since this episode was recorded, we wish to clarify that there is currently an average of around 11,000 Red Notices published per year. In 2021, the number of red notices issued was 10,776. The total number of red notices and diffusions issued that year was 23,716. Diffusions are where a country makes the same request directly to another country.

We also wish to clarify that Interpol does have a mechanism for the suspension of member countries, which is set out in its “Rules on the Processing of Data”.
