red notice
Noun: 1. An Interpol alert for a wanted person: A "red notice" is a formal request issued by Interpol to law enforcement agencies in its member countries. It describes an individual who is wanted by a requesting country, asks for that person to be located and provisionally arrested, and seeks their extradition (return) to face criminal charges or to serve a sentence.
A "red notice" is a specific type of international alert used in police and legal contexts. It is not an international arrest warrant itself but functions as a strong request for cooperation between countries. * The fugitive was detained at the airport after an Interpol red notice was issued. * The country requested a red notice for the former executive accused of financial crimes.
