Overview

• INTERPOL launched the Silver Notice pilot in January 2025 across 51 countries to enable sharing of alerts on assets tied to serious crimes.
• On May 23, the CBI issued its first Silver Notice against Shokeen Shubham for alleged visa fraud, tracking six Dubai properties purchased with illicit funds.
• A second notice followed on May 26 targeting Amit Madanlal Lakhanpal over an unauthorised cryptocurrency scheme that raised ₹113.1 crore from investors.
• The pilot phase, running until at least November 2025, allows each participating country to publish up to nine Silver Notices to locate laundered assets.
• The CBI, along with the Enforcement Directorate and Narcotics Control Bureau, plans further Silver Notice requests in its bid to recover transnational financial crime proceeds.
