ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th Mar, 2026) The National Central Bureau (NCB) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) working with Interpol has achieved significant results in 2025 by securing the return of dozens of wanted individuals and facilitating the repatriation of missing children.

According to officials, the FIA’s NCB Interpol successfully extradited 81 fugitives from different countries during the year. These individuals were wanted by Pakistani authorities in various criminal cases and were handed over to the concerned Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) upon their return to Pakistan.

In addition to the extraditions, 12 suspects against whom Interpol Red Notices had been issued at the request of Pakistani law enforcement agencies were intercepted at Pakistani airports. The individuals were detained upon arrival and handed over to the relevant authorities for legal proceedings.
