We have previously written extensively about INTERPOL’s developments and initiatives to enhance its transnational financial crime fighting capabilities.
These efforts take place at both the domestic and international levels.
Recent collaboration with Indian enforcement agencies
In the latest development, INTERPOL has held a meeting with law enforcement agencies in New Delhi, India.
Topics on the agenda included understanding INTERPOL’s colour-coded notice scheme, a topic which we have recently covered in our blog ‘INTERPOL in 2024 – a colourful year’.
It is reported that at the meeting, the attendees were introduced to a new initiative aimed at expediting the processing of the various coloured notices.
India was well represented with attendances from the CBI, National Investigation Agency, Enforcement Directorate, Directors of Revenue Intelligence, Narcotics Control Bureau, Delhi Police and the Wildlife Crime Control bureau.
The purpose of the meeting was to enhance and streamline India’s ability to seek international assistance from foreign jurisdictions through INTERPOL.
What does this mean?
With regards to investigations against individuals, the potential for enhanced information-sharing (particularly to or from India) and better access to evidence from a broader scope, may ultimately result in charges against individuals based in the UK, extradition requests against those based abroad or INTERPOL Red Notices more readily leading to the initiation of extradition proceedings.
Therefore, if you have conducted business and are concerned about potential liability, or if you have unresolved financial matters, including even an outstanding civil dispute, you should seek expert legal advice immediately to avoid the possibility of becoming subject to INTERPOL measures, including the Red Notice.
