It can. The Silver Notice, which INTERPOL is currently piloting, is a request for information to help locate and identify assets linked to a person’s criminal activities; it is not a conviction or a court finding. The notice itself does not freeze assets, but member countries may use the information obtained to seek seizure, confiscation or recovery of assets under their national laws. This can have practical consequences long before any court has examined the evidence. Challenging the data through the CCF can therefore be important, since a notice is not a judicial decision.
