News: The International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) has introduced its first Silver Notice.

About Silver Notice

The notice is designed to help countries track and retrieve criminally acquired assets, like properties, vehicles, businesses, which have been laundered across international borders.
It is part of a pilot project involving 52 countries (including India) and was launched after a request from Italy.
It allows the nations to request information on various assets, facilitating the identification and location of these assets.
- These laundered assets can be seized or confiscated depending upon the national laws.
The notice can play a crucial role in tracing and recovering assets linked to fugitive economic offenders and to check unaccounted black money transferred abroad.
It is part of Interpol’s larger effort to combat transnational organised crime by targeting the financial gains of criminal networks.
The project will run until at least November 2025, with 500 notices available among the participating nations.
