For anyone who hasn't seen it, the 2018 movie "Operation Finale" with Oscar Isaac and Melanie Laurent shows how Eichmann was found and captured by Mossad agents in South America. I don't know how accurate the movie is but these are great actors and I really enjoyed the movie.

> then grabbed when they travel to a country where the USA or affiliated can extradite.
And some countries, Israel for example, have actually sent assets to other countries to flat out kidnap and smuggle them out. The (probably) most high profile example of this being the abduction, confinement, and smuggling of Adolf Eichmann by Shin Bet and Mossad personnel. There are films about this, one being Operation Finale.
Other countries have done this to varying levels, including the United States. Some can be found starting at this point in the extraordinary rendition wiki entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition#Historical_instances
