News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. July 22, 2025: Despite former Trinidad & Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley’s recent claim that he was stopped by immigration officials in Antigua and Barbuda due to allegedly appearing on an INTERPOL watch list, a News Americas review has found no evidence that his name appears on INTERPOL’s Red Notice database.

What Is a Red Notice?
An INTERPOL Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant. Rather, it is a request for law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal proceedings.
Each Red Notice is issued at the request of a member country or international tribunal. Member countries apply their own laws in deciding whether to act on it. While most Red Notices are visible only to law enforcement, some are made public when the individual may pose a threat or public assistance is needed to locate them.
As of this writing, Keith Rowley is not listed among the public Red Notices.
