OIA is focused on keeping Americans safe at home and abroad by ensuring criminals are held accountable for their actions regardless of where in the world they may be hiding. As DOJ's nerve center for international criminal law enforcement coordination, OIA's efforts in pursuit of this aim are carried out through four principal works streams: extradition and removal of fugitives, international evidence gathering, providing legal advice to DOJ leadership and prosecutors, and international relations and treaty matters.
OIA is made up of a diverse group of experienced professionals, including many former federal and state prosecutors. OIA is organized into regional teams that cover geographical areas of the world, and specialized teams that handle issues and case work requiring subject-matter expertise. The teams are proficient on a range of policy, legislative, and litigation issues concerning international criminal investigation and prosecution.
OIA returns fugitives to face justice, transfers sentenced persons to serve their sentences in their home countries and obtains essential evidence for criminal investigations and prosecution worldwide by working with domestic partners and foreign counterparts to facilitate the cooperation necessary to enforce the law, advance public safety, and achieve justice.
