Interpol Issues First Silver Notice to Trace Criminal Assets

With 99% of criminal assets remaining uncovered, Silver notices allow member countries to request information on assets linked to criminal activities such as corruption and fraud.

The first notice was requested by Italy to ascertain information on a senior member of the mafia.

The notice is being piloted in 52 countries and will remain in effect until at least November 2025.

✅ Firms can review the initiative to further understand Interpol’s approach to combatting illicit finance and should ensure they maintain robust control frameworks to avoid facilitating the transfer of criminal assets.
