If Interpol considers an individual a fugitive, a Red Notice is sent to its 188 member countries. This wanted notice lasts a lifetime and has the practical effect of restricting travel and trade. The firm directly challenges at the organizational level Interpol’s filing of the Red Notice. Members of the firm challenge the basis for the listing using Interpol’s own documents, international law, and strategic public diplomacy. More

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s BIS and State’s DDTC each have their own lists that prohibit trade for a business or an individual that is on the respective list.

Placement of a business or an individual on any of these lists can act as an economic death penalty.
Other lists of businesses and individuals are compiled by U.S. and foreign governments seeking to keep an eye on those that it suspects may be involved in wrong-doing. More
