The main objective of the International Criminal Police Organization to aggregate international criminal information, to combine the efforts of national law enforcement agencies of the member states in the fight against crime, and to coordinate the international search.
Based on requests and documents of the investigation authorities, an Interpol member states (including Russia and Georgia) send requests for recording in the Interpol Information System the data about the international search of a specific person. After the Interpol General Secretariat agrees to the data processing, the data about the person is recorded and processed in the Interpol database with the assignment and publication of a specific notice of the international search.
It should be noted that although the Interpol bodies have the authority to verify the information provided by a member state before recording and processing the information in its database, it is presumed that the information provided by the NCB is accurate, sufficient and relevant to be recorded and processed in the Interpol database. Using this presumption, some NCBs misuse the Interpol system to prosecute individuals not for the purposes foreseen and permitted by the Organization, for example, with the purpose to exert pressure on individuals through criminal prosecution and international search for political or religious reasons.
