Dirty Work
By Sky News
It's a system which is meant to enable police forces to flag their most wanted persons at international borders around the world.
But, for some, Interpol's red notices have had devastating consequences - they're detained, imprisoned, and extradited, after being wrongly targeted.
Sahar Zand investigates the red notice system - and gets a rare chance to speak to the organisation's Secretary General.
Regular people, dissidents and Interpol insiders explain how bad actors have been able - in some cases - to hijack the system to capture people beyond their borders.
