Interpol, the FBI, and other international law enforcement agencies collaborate extensively to track down criminals across borders, using sophisticated technology, data-sharing agreements, and undercover operations. When a crime spans countries—such as cyber fraud, human trafficking, or drug smuggling—Interpol issues a “Red Notice,” which alerts 195 member countries of the criminal. The FBI works closely with Interpol and local police agencies in countries like China, Spain, and the Czech Republic to locate and apprehend suspects.

International criminals often face severe penalties once captured. Under U.S. federal law, criminals involved in international financial crimes, such as cyber fraud, can face up to 20 years in prison and fines up to $500,000 or twice the value of the stolen amount, whichever is greater. In the EU, similar cases may lead to up to 15 years in prison and significant financial penalties. China’s criminal code allows for 10+ years in prison and confiscation of assets for major fraud cases.

Advanced tracking methods, like digital forensics and global surveillance networks, make it increasingly difficult for international criminals to evade capture, no matter where they are. Law enforcement agencies ensure that justice is served by pursuing criminals until they face penalties in their respective jurisdictions.
