Interpol

Interpol is the world's largest international police organization, facilitating cross-border police cooperation and supporting member countries in combating transnational crime. Recent news highlights both its crucial role and potential for misuse. Several articles showcase Interpol's involvement in international law enforcement efforts, including a cross-border operation targeting illegal gold mining in the Amazon, backed by Interpol, the EU, and Dutch police. They also aided in the arrest of a woman wanted for trafficking tiger parts. However, concerns have emerged regarding potential abuse of Interpol's systems. A leak reveals Russia's alleged use of Interpol's wanted list to target critics abroad. Additionally, Honduras has requested Interpol's assistance in detaining former President Juan Orlando Hernández. China also sought to extradite an alleged cybercrime boss through Interpol channels. These events underscore Interpol's significance in global law enforcement while raising questions about its vulnerability to political manipulation.
