Officials accused of trying to sabotage Interpol's Red Notice system to tip off international fugitives

A multinational operation by Interpol and the FBI cracked down on attempts in Moldova to sabotage one of the international police agency's key tools, the Red Notice system, officials said Tuesday. Four people were detained in the eastern European country. 

Agence France-Presse reports all four were interior ministry employees in Moldova. 

The joint sting, which also involved cooperation with French and British authorities, uncovered an international criminal organization with ties to individuals in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus suspected of cybercrime, Moldova's anticorruption chief said.
