I'll admit to embellishing the title a little to make it somewhat easier to parse. I'd expect a 'Red Notice' from Interpol would have the weight of a warrant in a good number of countries though. At least as much authority to ensure an active search and detention. If he's ever found, of course.

Interpol notices don't really have authority. They can cause an organisation that does have authority, like a national police force, to choose to search for and detain someone.

Having a red notice issued against you is a real pain in the ass:

It's not an arrest warrant, but countries tend to just blindly trust them and they percolate down to street-level police automatically. Yeah, they chose to trust them in the first place, but there's often no case-by-case judgement happening until after the target has been detained.

The guidelines specifically ask you not to do this.
