Interpol plans to introduce a new 'silver notice' system to help member countries trace and seize criminal assets during its 94th General Assembly in Hong Kong from November 30 to December 3. Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza stated that the initiative, which has undergone a two-year pilot, aims to enhance international cooperation in combating transnational financial crime. Hong Kong Police Commissioner Joe Chow Yat-ming emphasized the city's commitment to security and partnership, noting that scams constituted about half of reported crimes in September and highlighting the role of the FRONTIER+ anti-scam platform.
