Will bank recind my offer due to arrest warrant in foreign country?
我诅咒up. I was in a country (tier 3) with ongoing political instability, and let's just say, I did something in that country that would result in 10 years imprisonment minimum. Won't go into much, but I was in a government protest that went really bad. I flew back to America after that, but now I hear from family members in said country that the state police have an arrest warrant for me. But the good news is that the U.S. doesn't have an extradition policy with said country, but I'm afraid that the bank may find that out and ask questions. Thoughts?

Pretty sure your US criminal record is what they would check. Also, if there is no extradition policy then the US does not likely recognize what you did as a crime. Check the country's profile on US.State.gov.
Iran/protesting for women's rights? Yeah a bank firing you would be a massive pr scandal
Ireland/IRA, you're out there bombing cars? Idk ya might be screwed if they find out
What if he's one of those climate protestors that throws soup on paintings and glues themselves to the floor?
Then he wouldn't be here
Ireland isn't a Tier 3 country
如果他是中情局招募指使regime change?
Its prob the first one, pretty sure Ireland has an extradition policy with the US...
Ireland is what people consider a "developed" country and has been for a long time, with strong legal systems and EU integration, plus the IRA decommissioned and stopped activities over 20 years ago. Don't know how anyone could remotely think of it in relation to OP's post.
Thanks for the casual "Ireland & Irish people = terrorism" ignorance though, super common in the US and Canada in my experience and I'm really sick of it, say that to a Muslim and it's (correctly) Islamophobic?
Chill dawg
Ireland'sgdp per capitais higher than your country
Would love to see your tier list if it's tier 3
Shawty chill
These get wilder and wilder

I am currently in vitro. My mom brushed up against a dog. Could bestiality claims prevent me from becoming an MD once born?
Counter-terrorism Prospect vs. Terrorist Prospect, it's like CS:GO
Hmm this could be Egypt tbh but no they won't rescind your offer b/c of that if it was in the US then yeah prolly but it isn't!
I was thinking Russia. somebody brought up Iran and Ireland as well. a lot of wild stuff is going on in the world.
Yeah prolly Iran since there weren't protests in Egypt recently tho you might be right about Russia as well
Russia has too much influence in the world to be Tier 3.

If there isn't any extradition policy in place with that country, then I wouldn't be worried.
Usually, in international private law, if you commited a crime in a foreign country and flew away before being arrested, you can be arrested in your native country only if its also a crime in it (double incrimination i.e. both countries have the same crime and in both countries if you skim the law you need to find approximately the same conditions to be found guilty) - So, as it's a political arrest, I assume you're safe.
Regarding your bank, businesses must adhere only to local laws, so if they are recruiting you for a position limited only to the US then they'll only check your US background.
Its amazing that people think the bank could actually find this out. You guys watch too many international crime thrillers.
They can't find this information. If you had an arrest warrant in the US, I'd give them <50% chance of catching it.
Now that this silly concern is dismissed, why don't you tell us more about what happened. Make this thread interesting.
This. Background checks dont look for information you didnt provide, they verify the info you did provide.
I just want to know what the criteria is for a country to be considered, "Tier 3"
your generic third world country
I'm looking for the country prestige ranking now
Wtf is a tier 3 country hahahaha
Next thread: Prestige Ranking of Countries
If it's Iran then this is actually pretty badass and honestly I would brag about it to everyone you know. Will probably score you some points with MDs at the very least.
Honestly can't think of where else this could be. Moldova / Albania? Also probably no big deal, but maybe would keep to yourself.
Could be Russia. While I have no idea what OP or others consider 'Tier 3' countries, I would bet Moldova/Albania is lower than 'Tier 3' in most people's opinion.
Russia is giving 10+ year sentences for people who are against the war effort. If OP was one of those guys, I'd applaud him.

It's pretty easy to get an arrest warrant in Iran...it's not like you have to lead a counterinsurgency in order to get arrested
The most an investment bank will do for an intern/analyst is an FBI background check. If your warrant is in a country without an extradition treaty with the US, then it's extremely unlikely you'd be in the FBI database.
even if the country doesn't have extradition policy with USA cant they technically issue interpol red flags etc? not saying they would in this case, but a hypothetical. wouldnt that show up in a background check?
