On 8 April 2026, Indonesian authorities extradited a Scottish national to Spain following his arrest in Bali on 28 March 2026. The individual was detained at Ngurah Rai International Airport after Indonesia’s immigration system identified him as the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice issued at the request of Spanish authorities.
The Red Notice sought the individual’s provisional arrest in connection with criminal proceedings in Spain. Spanish authorities are seeking the individual in relation to alleged offences that include drug trafficking and money laundering. Following the arrest, Indonesian authorities coordinated with law enforcement agencies in Spain and the United Kingdom to complete extradition procedures.
The individual was transferred from Indonesia to Europe and onward to Spain after domestic legal and administrative requirements were satisfied. Indonesian officials stated that the extradition took place after the conclusion of local investigative processes. The case involved cooperation between multiple jurisdictions and the use of INTERPOL’s Red Notice system to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition. Enforcement actions were carried out under applicable national laws and international cooperation arrangements.
