Will Germany use an Interpol Red Notice? ( not sure if that's applicable -
just looks like the usdoj has rules regarding it )

611 Interpol Red Notices

An Interpol Red Notice is the closest instrument to an international arrest
warrant in use today. Interpol (the International Criminal Police
Organization) circulates notices to member countries listing persons who
are wanted for extradition. The names of persons listed in the notices are
placed on lookout lists (e.g., NCIC or its foreign counterpart). When a
person whose name is listed comes to the attention of the police abroad,
the country that sought the listing is notified through Interpol and can
request either his provisional arrest (if there is urgency) or can file a
formal request for extradition.

Please be aware that if a Red Notice is issued, the prosecutor's office is
obligated to do whatever work is required to produce the necessary
extradition documents within the time limits prescribed by the controlling
extradition treaty whenever and wherever the fugitive is arrested. Further,
the prosecutor's office is obliged to pay the expenses pursuant to the
controlling treaty. Those expenses, which can be quite high, will typically
include the costs of translating the extradition documents and may include
the costs of hiring local counsel to represent the United States. Further,
these obligations, which remain until the fugitive is arrested or the Red
Notice is withdrawn, may result in prosecutors who have succeeded the
Assistant United States Attorney who originally requested the Red Notice
having to prepare the documents and arrange for payment of hefty fees years
after the fugitive originally fled from the United States. Therefore, it is
important for prosecutors to make certain that the case is significant
enough to warrant placing their offices under such a burden in deciding
whether or not to request issuance of a Red Notice.
