Is it permissible to arrest a subject based solely on the response from Interpol?

Arresting a subject based solely on a response from Interpol is not permissible because Interpol operates primarily as a facilitator of international police cooperation, rather than an enforcement agency. Their notifications, such as Red Notices, serve as requests for the location and arrest of individuals wanted for prosecution or to serve a sentence but do not carry the force of a warrant or provide legal grounds for arrest on their own.

Local law enforcement agencies must have additional supporting legal authority or corroborative evidence when considering an arrest. This is in line with ensuring that due process is followed and that individuals are not wrongfully detained based solely on an international notice lacking the necessary legal framework within their jurisdiction. Thus, while Interpol can provide valuable information and assistance, it is crucial for law enforcement to substantiate arrests with local laws and regulations.
