Fixing Interpol with Matt Apuzzo

from The World Unpacked · host Jen Psaki, Matt Apuzzo

Interpol conjures up images of shady agents in sharp suits, jetting around the world to capture international criminals. But recently the international police agency has come under fire, as autocratic regimes around the world have used its Red Notice system to harass and arrest political exiles. Has Interpol become just an international extension of the regimes of Vladimir Putin and Xi Jin Ping? Should the organization be reformed? Or is the criticism too harsh for a one hundred year old organization with a history of tracking criminals across borders? Jen talks to New York Times reporter Matt Apuzzo about where things went wrong, and how they could get back on track.

Interpol has come under fire, as autocrats around the world have used its Red Notice system to harass and arrest political dissidents. Can the organization be reformed?
