Angelika Hellweger of Rahman Ravelli explains how the Silver
Notice system is used to aid the recovery of the proceeds of
crime.
The UK's first Interpol Silver Notice has been published in
an attempt to recover the assets of a man who carried out an
£8.5 million investment fraud.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) announced that Anopkumar Maudhoo
has been made subject to the order, which allows countries that are
members of Interpol to share information to help locate the
proceeds of crime.
The Silver Notice will help agencies locate and obtain
information on assets held by Maudhoo – who used a number of
aliases - including properties, vehicles, financial accounts and
businesses. The NCA said inquiries are ongoing in the UK to
identify assets that could be used to compensate his victims under
the Proceeds of Crime Act.
