The 50-year-old, son of former IAAF president Lamine Diack, was one of three senior IAAF officials to be banned for life by athletics' world governing body last week for a breach of its Code of Ethics.
Papa Massata Diack was charged after being subject to disciplinary hearings over his alleged involvement in a doping cover-up relating to Russian London Marathon winner Liliya Shobukhova.
The Senegalese has now been listed on Interpol's website as being wanted "by the judicial authorities of France for prosecution to serve a sentence".
