The joint sting uncovered an international criminal organisation with ties to individuals in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
A joint operation by Interpol, the FBI and British anticrime officials has thwarted attempts by criminals in Moldova to sabotage one of the international police agency's key tools - the Red Notice system. Four people have been arrested as part of the joint sting which uncovered an international criminal organisation with ties to people in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. Red Notices flag people deemed fugitives to law enforcement worldwide and are one of Interpol's most important tools.
Moldova opened an investigation on 2 April, after receiving information from France's National Financial Prosecutor's Office, and then asked for help from the FBI. Among those involved in the investigation was the UK's National Crime Agency.
