Interpol Expands Silver Notice System, Identifies at Least €36M in Criminal AssetsAccording to AP, Interpol is expanding its Silver Notice system, which allows its 196 member countries to share information and assist in tracing and seizing cross-border criminal assets, including cash, cryptocurrency, vehicles and real estate. Trialed since January 2025, the system has involved 82 countries and identified at least €36 million in criminal assets. Interpol says criminals generally retain around 99% of their illicit proceeds. The first Silver Notice was requested by Italy for a senior mafia member, after which Brazil identified multiple properties and other assets linked to the suspect and his associates. Interpol members are expected to vote on the system’s full adoption at the General Assembly in Hong Kong in November 2026.
