Federal Crimes - Be Careful
http://www.mcnabbassociates.com
Federal agents can lie...you cannot.
The U.S. Supreme Court has held that it is okay for federal agents to trick, lie, and deceive as part of the investigatory process. Do not answer any of their questions. Do not try to explain why their theory of the facts is wrong. You can not control the questions that the agents ask, but more importantly, you can not control their interpretation of your answers. The U.S. Congress has said that if an agent comes to you and says, "We are investigating mail fraud activity that occurred yesterday, at such and such a location, did you do it?" and you say, "No," and you are later charged and convicted of mail fraud, the agents can come back and charge you with lying to a federal agent. This is a separate criminal offense that carries up to 5 years without parole, which would be added, or stacked, onto whatever time you received from the mail fraud conviction.
Fight federal criminal mail, wire, mortgage, bank fraud and money laundering investigation charges.

Federal Crimes - Be Proactive - Federal Criminal Defense
http://www.mcnabbassociates.com
Federal Attorney Douglas C. McNabb is a federal criminal defense lawyer.
Something tells you that the United States federal government wants you.
You have choices. You can ignore the rumors, hiding under the covers, hoping that it's all a bad dream. You can pretend that your coworkers aren't being asked questions by the FBI. You can try to rationalize your situation, dismissing all the signs that point to an imminent indictment. You can even tell yourself that whatever it is they think you've done, it's just a minor thing and the feds won't really care about you.
Or you can take charge. It's all about choices.
You can do something about the fact that the FBI is asking questions. You can put an end to your fear. But that requires you to make the right decision.
By taking charge of your situation before an indictment is returned by a federal grand jury can make all the difference in the world---it can even keep you from being indicted, arrested at home or work, and paraded before the media in a "perp walk."
Our clients don't often show up in the news, and that's by design.
In the end, the choice is simple. Be proactive or wait for them to come get you.

INTERPOL's Red Notice
Federal Attorney Douglas McNabb discusses Interpol's use of the Red Notice and its inter-relationship with International Extradition.
One of Interpol's most important functions is to help the member countries' law enforcement organizations communicate with each other about critical crime-related information. An Interpol International Notice is used to help achieve that goal. The notice is circulated worldwide.
1. Red Notice ("International Wanted Notice")
The legal basis for a Red Notice is the arrest warrant (issued for a person wanted for prosecution) or a court order (issued for a person wanted to serve a sentence) issued by judicial authorities in the concerned country. The notice contains identification information about the subject person such as physical description, photographs and fingerprints if available, occupation, languages spoken and identity documents. The notice may also contain judicial information such as offense with which the person is charged, references to the relevant laws under which the charge is made or conviction was obtained, the maximum penalty that has been or can be imposed, the references of the arrest or of the sentence imposed by the court, and details of the countries from which the requesting country will seek the fugitive's extradition.
Many of Interpol's member countries consider a Red Notice as a valid request for provisional arrest. This is particularly true if the requesting country and requested country have a bilateral or multilateral extradition treaty or convention in force with each other. It is even more so if the treaty or convention allows for the use of Interpol channels to forward such requests.
If a Red Notice is considered to be a valid request for a provisional arrest, the appropriate judicial authority in the requested country can make the decision, based on the information in the notice, to have the person provisionally arrested. Subsequent to the arrest, the requesting country is notified of the person's detention and the formal extradition process can begin.
In the United States, based on the notice alone, federal law prohibits the arrest of the subject of the Red Notice. If the subject is found within the United States, the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, will make a determination if a valid extradition treaty exists between the U.S. and the requesting country for the specified crime or crimes. If the subject is extraditable, and after a diplomatic request for a provisional arrest is received from the requesting country, the facts are communicated to the U.S. Attorney's Office where the person is located. The U.S. Attorney's Office will then file a Criminal Complaint and obtain an arrest warrant requesting extradition. If the United States is the requesting country the Red Notice is generated by the US -- NCB in coordination with the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The notice will request that the subject be provisionally arrested. The Notice is sent to all 188 Interpol member countries, and is posted at all U.S. border ports of entry. The notice data is also entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). It should be noted that Interpol has the authority to refuse to issue a Red Notice when it is not satisfied that the notice contains all the information needed to formulate a valid request for a provisional arrest. Additionally, a Red Notice may not be issued if Interpol concludes that the request is based on activity of a political, military, religious or racial character.
2. Blue Notice ("International Request for Information Notice")
This notice is primarily used for tracing and locating a person when the decision to extradite has not yet been made. It may also be used to verify a person's identity, to obtain particulars about his criminal record or to locate witnesses to criminal activity.
3. Green Notice ("International Alert Notice")
This notice is used to provide warnings and criminal intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offenses, and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.
4. Yellow Notice ("International Missing Person Notice")
This notice is used to help locate missing persons, including children, or to help identify persons who may not be able to identify themselves such as a person suffering from amnesia.
5. Black Notice ("International Unidentified Dead Body Notice")
This notice is used to seek the identity of deceased persons.
6. Orange Notice ("Warning Notice")
This notice is used to warn police, public entities and other international organizations about potential threats from disguised weapons, parcel bombs and other dangerous materials.
7. Interpol- United Nations Special Notice
This notice is issued for groups and individuals who are the targets of UN sanctions against Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
