The default option is indeed the most logical: After all, who doesn't want to clear his good name? Or not have to worry about the what-if's of being on someone else's Wanted-list? But sometimes this simply isn't up to us. Looking back at my own beef, I was fully prepared to play along. Why...

Well, what can I say . . . I learned from the best. And I'm thrilled to see you've still got it, octogenarian or not. To OP: @bingbong - you want to follow the advice given here. This man literally wrote the book on how to solve your problem. Heed it well. When you've met more than a fair...

No. Stay away. On balance, darkdocs do more harm than good. OP is already in a delicate spot. He needs to keep under the radar -- which means: he can't use his own papers too much. But if a set of alternative papers gets flagged as fake, he'll suddenly be in a whole new world of trouble and...

Completely agree. Not a loophole. It is THE LAW and the law exists for a number of quite good reasons, some of which were already pointed out. The word "loophole" was used in the original article I quoted -- but applying the statute of limitations shouldn't be seen as a Get Out of Jail Free...

This is the case of Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya who ran and let his lawyers run out the clock. From The Bangkok Post: through his lawyers, he put off hearing charges seven times. It took nearly five years before prosecutors finally charged him with reckless driving causing death and failing to...

Bingo! Been there, done that, and came out unscathed on the other side to certify that this is solid advice. It works. There is nothing immoral about just removing yourself from an iffy situation or trumped-up charges. The way I see it: If you didn't do the crime, you shouldn't do the time...

Most people are residents of just one country. But there's no world government or universal, planetary decree prohibiting anyone from being a resident of more than one place at the same time. As for spending time, what matters most is proof of when you started the clock. Proof of residence is...

You made mistakes but they were minor -- and yet you were twice brought before the public to answer to them. As of today, you are still threatened with even more imprisonment. For better or worse, this sort of thing has been a part of the human condition for almost eternity. In the Bible, Jesus...

Am not originally Brazilian by birth but know this saying well. It means that "someone else's suffering doesn't hurt us" or that "talk is cheap when it is about someone else's problem." We can tell OP to go back and face the corrupt system that wants to lock him up or we can tell him to just...

Thanks for posting this. All I can add is a quote from Harry Browne with relevance to OP's particular conundrum: The free man automatically thinks in terms of direct alternatives. He asks himself, "With things as they are, what can I do by myself to make things better for myself?"

I second the above. Bill Grandpa Taradash knows what he's talking about. Sure, nobody likes to be running from the law. But sadly, this is not always up to us. Sometimes the only way to win is to simply not play at all. Depending on how badly the game is rigged, the smartest move might be to...

It follows the same principle of needing to be a crime in both the requesting and requested countries. The technicality here is that once the statute of limitations kicks in under the laws of just one of the two countries, the subject is no longer considered a criminal there: If they wouldn't be...

Solid advice. I, too, considered Argentina back when I faced OP's kind of challenge. If I had to do it over again, any of the Mercosur countries would be on my list -- with Argentina in the top 3 for sure. Having Doug Casey there is another plus. With either marriage or childbirth, Brazilian...

Safe travels. You are welcome here anytime, brother. If that is in the cards, I'd move up my travel plans to sooner. Air travel is inadvisable once a red notice is issued. There are different ways to satisfy the requirement of the criminal record and as you already researched yourself, they...

Glad my words could help a bit. I know how overwhelming it seems because I've been where you are. But I made it and so can you. > Would you mind if I ask what region of the world you were from (just roughly)? for context. I'm originally from the north of Europe. > If I understand correctly...
