Interpol fingerprint match assists US law enforcement in arrest of suspected serial killer in Europe
26 February 2007
A tip from a New York Police Department detective and an Interpol matching of fingerprints has led to the arrest of a man living in Montenegro in relation to the unsolved 1990 beating and dismemberment killing of a widow in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The NYPD detective noted apparent similarities with several European cases while attending a training session at FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia. Requesting assistance from federal and international authorities, he sent the suspect’s fingerprints from a 1974 arrest to Interpol. After comparison with those in its international database, Interpol notified the FBI that it had matched the prints to a man believed to be living in Montenegro.
The suspect, identified by authorities in Montenegro as Smail Tulja, 67, was arrested in his home in the tiny Balkan country's capital, Podgorica, on a federal arrest warrant obtained by the FBI and forwarded to Interpol. Tulja is also reportedly a suspect in similar slayings in several other European countries.
In fighting international crime, Interpol manages databases, which contain critical information on criminals and criminality, including suspected terrorists, fingerprints, DNA profiles, lost or stolen travel documents, child sexual abuse images, stolen motor vehicles, and nominal data on criminals (names, photos). These databases are accessible by Interpol National Central Bureaus in all member countries to assist police with investigations or in preventing crime.

Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble (center) speaks with journalists upon his arrival in Jamaica. With him are (left to right) Nimal Mahagamage, Head of Interpol's Liaison Office in Trinidad; Senior Superintendent Derrick Cochrane, Director of the National Intelligence Bureau; and Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence, Charles Scarlett.
Lyon, France – Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble will visit Jamaica, Antigua, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago, 22-27 February, to discuss the final security arrangements for the Cricket World Cup (CWC).
'Interpol has been working with all nine hosting countries, as well as neighboring countries, to support the entire region in preparing a major security program,' said Mr. Noble. An Interpol Major Event Support Team (IMEST) has been in the region since early October.'
One of the gravest threats today is that terrorists and other international criminals use falsified stolen or lost passports to conceal their identities. To address this threat, Interpol is providing the region with Interpol-developed technology (called MIND/FIND) that allows law enforcement officers at airports and seaports to instantly check passports against Interpol’s global database of stolen and lost travel documents (SLTD) – a database that contains information on more than 13 million such documents from over 120 countries.
Interpol’s MIND/FIND technology is now revolutionizing the way countries conduct border security. First deployed in Switzerland in December 2005, Swiss officers now conduct more than 400,000 database searches each month, detecting more than 100 people in possession of passports that have been reported lost or stolen. Other countries have since been implementing this technology.
Interpol has committed to helping all CWC host countries implement MIND/FIND technology so it will be operational before the start of the event. Although implemented in the region very recently, the number of SLTD searches has soared. While the total number of searches in Interpol’s SLTD database by the nine CWC host countries during 2006 (without MIND/FIND access at airports and seaports) amounted to a mere 455 searches, these countries have now conducted more than 45,000 searches during the first month of 2007 alone. These searches led to nine positive database hits on passports that were reported stolen or lost, and these numbers are expected to further increase as the CWC event draws closer.
'These measures are part of the security program that will be in place for the CWC, which will severely limit the ability of terrorists and other dangerous criminals to gain access to the area,' said Mr. Noble. 'This has been made possible through the strong commitment of local ministers, commissioners and chiefs of police, Interpol National Central Bureaus (NCB), and other members of the law enforcement community throughout the region and the world, in working together to secure this event.'

Georgetown, Guyana - Interpol Secretary General Ronald K. Noble and the Acting Police Commissioner for Guyana's Police Force, Henry Greene, met Sunday to review Interpol's state-of-the-art police communications system (I-24/7) installed at Guyana's Interpol National Central Bureau and at Guyana's CJIA airport in Georgetown.
After meeting with Interpol and Guyana police staff assigned with CWC security, Secretary General Noble complimented Acting Police Commissioner Henry Greene on the professionalism of his police staff and on the 24 hour - 7 day a week service that Guyana's Interpol office will be providing to all CWC host countries in order to provide a rapid response to any inquiry during the event. Acting Commissioner Greene also committed to sending a police and immigration officer to a special training course that will be offered at the end of this month in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
'I have assured our governmental leadership, citizens and Cricket World Cup (CWC) spectators that Guyana will be a secure and safe environment for the CWC,' said Acting Police Commissioner Greene. “Our fine men and women in law enforcement are delivering on that promise.'
Interpol has committed to helping all CWC host countries implement MIND/FIND technology so it will be operational before the start of the event. This technology allows law enforcement officers at airports and seaports to instantly check passports against Interpol’s global database of stolen and lost travel documents (SLTD) – a database that contains information on more than 13 million such documents from more than 120 countries.
The Caribbean is the first region in the world to benefit from this additional layer of border security. First deployed in Switzerland in December 2005, MIND/FIND is revolutionizing the way countries screen travel documents. Approximately 29 persons, using false documents, have been prevented from entering the Caribbean since its implementation in the region two months ago. This compares to a total of 97 documents seized between 2002 and the end of 2006 – a significant increase.
Secretary General Noble is on a five-country tour to ensure that Interpol's border-control network is in place and functioning soundly in all CWC host countries.
'I have been very pleased by what I have seen during my visit this week,' Secretary General Noble concluded.

Vehicle crime
According to research, illicit trafficking of vehicles is a form of organized crime which generates large profits for the perpetrators (estimated at USD 19 billion which disappears into a parallel economy) and a feeling of insecurity that affects the general public particularly due to the increased used of violence. A key aspect of this form of crime is the need to legalize stolen vehicles in order for the criminal to achieve a monetary gain.
Vehicle crime is a highly organized criminal activity and affects all parts of the globe. It is well documented that it is often linked to organized crime and terrorism. The vehicles are not only stolen for the cars themselves; sometimes, the trafficking of them finances other crimes. They can also be used as bomb carriers or in the perpetration of other crimes. These web pages attempt to offer useful information and links to fight vehicle crime. Interpol is working to keep this site updated and to provide the most useful information.
Statistics
The Interpol General Secretariat developed the Automated Search Facility-Stolen Motor Vehicle (ASF-SMV) database to support police in member countries in the fight against international vehicle theft and trafficking.
At the end of 2005, the database held more than 3 million records of reported stolen motor vehicles. Close to 125 countries use the database regularly. Of these, more than 95 countries have shared their national stolen vehicle database records with Interpol. Close to 18,000 motor vehicles were discovered worldwide in 2005 through the ASF-SMV database.
