Overview
- The Senate Interior Administration disclosed an official tally of 9,459 open arrest warrants that police have not yet executed.
- Most of the warrants—7,532—were issued to enforce already imposed sentences, while 1,915 are active orders tied to ongoing criminal investigations.
- Nearly half of the outstanding cases involve theft and the files also list hundreds of fraud, drug, assault and robbery charges, and some counts of murder or manslaughter.
- The warrants vary by age: about 3,000 date to the past year, roughly 4,200 are older than one year, and about 2,300 are more than three years old.
- Officials say many orders remain unserved because suspects disappeared, failed to appear to begin jail terms, or were deported and are kept on national and international wanted registers in case they return
