Adviser to Interpol Secretary General Brig. Gen. George Bustani said a deal cut between INTERPOL and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will go into effect after final approval of the INTERPOL General Assembly which will meet in Singapore between Oct. 11-15.
The International Criminal Police Organization and the STL concluded last month an interim agreement on INTERPOL”s assistance to the international tribunal with regard to its investigations and other proceedings that pertain to the crimes that fall under its jurisdiction.
"INTERPOL had effective contribution to the international investigation committee – four experts in criminal analysis helped obtain fingerprints and information on wanted men," Bustani said in an interview published Monday by the daily An-Nahar.
Bustani explained that INTERPOL data consists of records that include 18 million stolen, forged or missing passports across the world.
He said 8,000 people are also wanted on international arrest warrants and subject to a Red Notice.
