In the aftermath of the Goa nightclub fire that claimed 25 lives, INTERPOL has issued a Blue Corner Notice against the absconding owners of the nightclub to help trace their location across borders.
- INTERPOL notices are issued by the General Secretariat upon request from a country’s National Central Bureau (NCB).
- Interpol publishes a Notice only if it meets legal standards under its Constitution and data protection rules, ensuring information quality and privacy.
- Blue Corner Notice: It is issued to collect information about a person’s identity, location, or activities linked to a criminal investigation.
- It is not an arrest warrant, unlike a Red Notice, but it helps law enforcement agencies across countries track suspects internationally.
