Former Minister of Finance, , risks being detained in almost every country in the world following his addition to the INTERPOL Red Notice database after he was accused of "using public office for profit" by Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
The red notice alert means that all the 196 member countries of INTERPOL, including the United States and the United Kingdom, where Ofori-Atta has reportedly been sighted, will collaborate to find his location and will detain him to be extradited to Ghana.
Each member country of the largest police organisation hosts an INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), which links national police with its global network, which means that it's only a matter of time before Ofori-Atta will be located.
The former finance minister literally has about two United Nations-recognised countries he can take refuge in, if indeed he wishes to avoid being arrested - North Korea and Tuvalu - as well as countries with partial or no international recognition like Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine, and Western Sahara.
