Foreign Country Fugitive File

The Foreign Fugitive File, established July 1, 1987, contains information on persons wanted in connection with offenses committed outside the United States.  The US office of Interpol enters Foreign Country Fugitive Records to the NCIC computer on behalf of the foreign country’s government. 

Any agency receiving a response from the Foreign Country Fugitive File will be advised that the fugitive cannot be arrested based solely on the response, and advised to contact Interpol.  Interpol will then confirm whether the foreign arrest warrant is still outstanding, determining whether the foreign country will proceed with extradition, and notifying other U.S. officials to have a U.S. arrest warrant issued.
