Ideea de INTERPOL a originat in 1914 , cind politisti din 14 tari ale Europei, au fost somati la Monte Carlo de catre printul Albert, ingrijorat de soarta cazinourilor din Monaco, in conditiile criminalitatii din acele vremuri, falsificari de valuta si altele ...
"... it was suggested that an international support agency should be set-up to combat crime across the globe - the idea for Interpol was born. Despite being universally endorsed, the onset of the First World War interrupted its development, and it wasn't until Dr Johannes Schober reconvened the International Criminal Police Congress in Vienna, Austria in 1923 that the idea returned to the legislative table. It was at this congress that the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC) was established to enhance cross-border criminal police co-operation."
Istoria continua:
"When Interpol was 1st established in 1924, Vienna was chosen as its "permanent" home by fixing in the constitution that the head of the Austrian federal police would automatically lead the organization from the capital of that nation. In short, whoever ran the Austrian police ran Interpol, which Hitler would quickly recognize.
The Nazis strongly supported the organization and encouraged its expansion. By 1937, Interpol officials elected Nazi General Kurt Daluege, destined to be executed in 1946 for war crimes, as their vice-president. At the same time, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, was expressing interest and corresponding directly with Interpol's secretary general, Oscar Dressler. In 1937, H. Drane Lester, assistant director of the FBI, attended the Interpol congress in London and recommended to Hoover that the U.S. formally join.
Undaunted by growing Nazi participation, U.S. Attorney General Homer Cummings recommended to the Congress, a mere 2 weeks after Hitler's take-over of Austria and Interpol, that the U.S. formally join the group "as advocated by Director Hoover." Since Secretary of State Cordell Hull had no objection to the membership "from the point of view of our international relations," Congress voted the money and as of June 8, 1938, the U.S. was officially a member of Interpol. The U.S. was a member of a Nazi-run organization for only $1,500 annual dues. ..."

"As the 3rd Reich fell apart, so did Interpol. In the Reich's final days, a drama unfolded that was to be one of Interpol's unsolved mysteries and possibly a key to its postwar behavior. Interpol's files, nurtured for 6 years by the Nazis, were a prize for any would be dictator. Culled from European police dossiers with the Nazi penchant for blackmail, one can imagine what they contained: the names of thieves, assassins, informers, forgers, and counterfeiters, as well as information on political leaders, businessmen, and citizens in general. The files were in Wannsee when the Allies began to close in on Berlin. Interpol has insisted that they were destroyed in the bombings. But one official tells a different, albeit odd, story.
Harry Soderman, a Swedish policeman, had worked with Interpol since its inception in 1924 and was one of 2 men responsible for its reemergence in 1946. In his book, Policeman's Lot, he offered some interesting insights, including information on what may have actually happened to the files in 1945. According to Soderman: ... "

"Since the war, Interpol has puzzled those not acquainted with its history, and Louwage's, by politely but firmly refusing to aid in the search for wanted Nazi war criminals. Citing Article 3 of its constitution, Interpol has insisted that Nazi war criminals are beyond its "jurisdiction." The matter came to a head in 1961 with the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann, who had sat in Interpol's offices 19 years earlier toasting the Fuhrer. The World Jewish Congress, meeting in Geneva that same year, took notice of Interpol's refusal. Charging that such an attitude gave "an unexpected sense of safety" to other Nazis in hiding, the WJC did not accept Interpol's view that ... "

"By 1968, the Nazi issue had quieted sufficiently to allow the election of Paul Dickopf as president. Besides working in Heydrich's SD, where Interpol was located during the war, Dickopf had helped to reestablish the police in postwar Germany, achieving a senior position for himself in the Bundeskriminalamt. During his 4-year reign, the organization achieved a momentary state of financial affluence. When Dickopf stepped down in 1972, Interpol owned a new 8-story building in St. Cloud, a radio station, over 100 acres of French land, and had nearly 2 billion Swiss francs in the bank, due, in part, to large contributions by 3 member countries during his tenure: Venezuela, Brazil, and Switzerland, where, coincidentally, the Nazi Odessa brotherhood is very much alive.
At the White House, in 1969, events were transpiring that would reach across the ocean 5 years later. The image of fair and efficient law enforcement, carefully nurtured since Heydrich, was about to fall away. Eugene Rossides, as Interpol's boss in the Treasury Department, moved up the international ladder to follow in Hoover's footsteps. Elected to serve with Dickopf as a vice-president, Rossides was also busy in the U.S. Treasury giving a job to a young man by the name of G. Gordon Liddy. While Rossides got out before the Watergate scandal hit, Edward L. Morgan didn't make it. Coming from the White House, where he worked as a deputy counsel under John Ehrlichman, Morgan was appointed the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Enforcement and took command of Interpol activity there in 1970. By October, 1973, he was elected to Interpol's powerful Executive Committee. ..."
