An international wanted notice, also known as a red notice, is a global alert issued by Interpol for the arrest of a suspect who is wanted by a member country. There are various synonyms for the term, including international arrest warrant, worldwide warrant, and global fugitive alert. In addition, some countries refer to it as an extradition warrant or an international warrant of arrest. Regardless of the name, the purpose of the notice remains the same - to alert authorities worldwide of the wanted individual and assist in their capture and extradition to the requesting country for trial.
