Britain has urged Interpol to turn down Argentina’s requests to arrest people connected to a major oil project off the Falkland Islands, according to the Guardian.
The requests for Interpol red notices come from the government of Argentine President Javier Milei. UK officials regard them as politically motivated and have asked the international organisation for urgent assurances.
The dispute comes amid heightened tensions over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory. The Guardian described those tensions as reaching levels not seen since the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina.
