INTERPOL Update – global coordination ahead of Vienna Fraud Summit

We have been tracking closely INTERPOL’s efforts to enhance international cooperation in relation to offences such as fraud.

In November 2025, we noted that Morocco hosted the 93rd INTERPOL General Assembly, examined the Assembly’s agenda and highlighted the strengthened cooperation between Morocco and China.

In addition, we noted that the Assembly opened with a commitment to boost international cooperation.

We also published updates in relation to cybercrime and the new Executive Committee Members.

More recently, we announced that Hong Kong is set to host the 94th INTERPOL General Assembly later this year.

We shall now examine an event designed to focus on the continuing fight against international fraud.

When is the Vienna Global Fraud Summit?

Vienna will be hosting the Global Fraud Summit on 16-17 March 2026.

What happened in advance of the Vienna Global Fraud Summit?

In February 2026, an event took place titled “Unmasking Fraud: A Deep Dive Ahead of the Global Fraud Summit”, which involved representatives from EU institutions, national law enforcement agencies and international organisations gathering to assess emerging fraud trends. Indeed, INTERPOL’s 2024 Global Financial Fraud Assessment emphasised how fraud is increasingly organised, technology-enabled and integrated with other forms of transnational crime.

Discussions focused on operational gaps, jurisdictional challenges and the need for coordinated intelligence sharing to tackle emerging fraud threats.

The event led to participants calling for a sustained, institutionalised collaboration between not only law enforcement, but also financial institutions, tech platforms and civil society.

Following the Vienna Global Fraud Summit, we will examine some of the proposed outcomes in more detail.

What about INTERPOL in 2025 and the INTERPOL Silver Notice?

 We recently published a blog titled  INTERPOL in 2025 – increased cooperation, conference, Silver Notices and Gherson securing second Red Notice block from China.

Additionally, throughout 2025 we have been tracking the progress of the INTEPOL Silver Notice:

What is INTERPOL’s Silver Notice?

How Gherson can help

Those who suspect that they may be subject to INTERPOL measures, including a Red (or Blue) Notice and diffusion, should take heed.

1. How best to approach a possible INTERPOL notice;
2. Preparing for potential criminal proceedings / an extradition request;
