Interpol has issued the first "Silver Notice" to the Republic of Kazakhstan as part of a pilot project to locate and recover assets. The document is aimed at obtaining information about the assets of an individual affiliated with one of the entities covered by the Asset Recovery Law.
According to the press service of the Asset Recovery Committee, last year the agency joined the Interpol working group for implementing this project.
More than 50 countries are participating in the project, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Qatar, China, Kuwait, Malta, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, the USA, France, Sweden, and others.
It has become known that the tool allows for the exchange of information on illegally acquired assets between 196 states that are members of Interpol.
The committee can now track, identify, and obtain information on illegally acquired assets, including movable and immovable property, as well as funds.
"If previously Interpol mainly recorded information about wanted persons, now attention is also being paid to assets which, if there are grounds, may be subject to various enforcement measures worldwide," the statement said.
