Argentine authorities have captured Nigerian national Ikechukwu N, marking the country’s first arrest of a Red Notice fugitive who was also the subject of an INTERPOL Silver Notice.

The suspect is accused of orchestrating multiple romance scams involving thousands of women and leading an international cybercrime network.

The arrest was part of Operation Jackal, an INTERPOL-coordinated initiative targeting West African organised criminal groups. It was carried out by @PFAOficial and @seguridadpsa, with support from IFCACC, FIS, and INTERPOL Brazil.

The Silver Notice pilot project, launched in January 2025, aims to assist countries in tracing and recovering criminal assets.
