PARIS (AP) — Interpol is studying a request by Ukrainian authorities to issue an alert for the arrest of President Viktor Yanukovych for abuse of power and murder, the international police organization said Thursday.
A statement by the Lyon-based organization said it received a request Wednesday from Ukrainian authorities to issue a “Red Notice,” which informs Interpol’s 190-member countries that an arrest warrant has been issued. A Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.
