German term

internationale Fahndung

German to English Law/Patents Law (general)
In a resolution from an Austrian District Court regarding a search warrant:

In der Strafsache gegen XXX - internationale Fahndung - ergeht an die Einsatzgruppe zur Bekämpfung des Terrorismus, Bundesministerium für Inneres... der Hausdurchsuchungsbefehl.

Does this mean that an international search is underway for the criminal, as I'm guessing the address would normally be placed after the name? I can't think of a neat way of incorporating this into the translation if so - any ideas?

Thanks!
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 international arrest warrant
3 +2 international wanted persons search
3 +1 under an international search warrant
5 -1 international manhunt

Ines R. Mar 10, 2013:
@Andrew please send your proposal as answer ....
Trevor Pettit (asker) Mar 10, 2013:
Yes Phil, this is part of a large job so I wouldn't be surprised.

FYI, I'm going to use "under an international arrest warrant".
Salih YILDIRIM Mar 10, 2013:
Hi Trevor,
İsn't it self-explanatory with given phrase "In a resolution from an Austrian District Court regarding "a search warrant"?
philgoddard Mar 10, 2013:
Trevor I think I may be working on the same job as you. Is it for a translation company whose name begins with B?

I think some of the other correspondents here are confusing 'arrest' with try, convict and imprison:

Hello Trevor
I hope you are going to close this one yourself. If left to the robot at the end of the fortnight, 'international wanted persons search' (sic) on +2 will be automatically selected. However, maybe that is what you used.
Regards
AJS

under an international search warrant

..
Peer comment(s):
agree Lancashireman : More likely an 'international arrest warrant'. // OK. Will do. I was considering that this was a minor tweak to your answer, but perhaps it counts as separate after all.

Yes, I think you're right - why not post this as a separate answer?
neutral philgoddard : I actually think Andrew is right.

international manhunt

"Fahndung" comes from the German word fahnden, to track or trace, when the subject content has to do inanimate things.

For people, also known as 'Personenfahnung' or 'manhunt', there can be three reasons behind such an undertaking.

1. Sn arrest warrant of a felon
2. For the purpose of averting danger or implementing security requirements (e.g.person suffering from insanity or illness)
3. Someone who is missing.

Manhunt would be a collective term taking care of all three of these circumstances.
Peer comment(s):
disagree philgoddard : This is inappropriate terminology for a legal document.
7 mins
Correct. After more research and debating the register of the document, International arrest warrant would be more appropriate.

international wanted persons search

No such thing as an international arrest warrant, unless an Interpol Red Notice - or international wanted persons alert - is meant.

Just because it's Austria doesn't mean it's a European Arrest Warrant.

Neither is an internationale Fahndungsliste a list of international search warrants, but an international wanted list.

Thanks. Good weblink reference.
neutral Lancashireman : So what do they do with them after they have 'wanted', searched for and found them? Buy them a coffee at Starbucks?
1 day 1 hr
The suspects are either shot on the spot (e.g. Osama bin-Laden), taken alive & interviewed, usually under police caution & with suitable refeshment = coffee breaks under UK PACE Act 1984, released (under surveillance) or taken into custody - not CUSTARD.
