Interpol reported the first silver at India’s request against the former-French embassy officer in the visa fraud case

New Delhi: Interpol, for the first time, has issued a silver notice at India’s request to monitor the former French Embassy Officer of India, Shubam, which is involved in visa fraud. The silver notice introduced in January is designed to track illegal assets globally. Italy’s request introduced this pilot program, which has been included in India.Interpol uses nine different color-coded notices for specific information requests from member countries. These included red for fugitive detention, blue for additional information, black for unknown bodies and yellow for missing persons.India participates in the initial phase of Silver notice implementation with 50 other countries, continuing until November. Each participating country is allowed to publish nine silver notices during this pilot phase.The CBI said on Tuesday that silver notice and defusion member countries are able to request information about property related to criminal activities including fraud, corruption, drug trafficking and environmental crimes.This notice helps to detect and identify information about laundered assets including system properties, vehicles, financial accounts and businesses. Countries can use this information for bilateral engagement, including seizure and seizure within their legal framework.IT is relevant to mention that CBI received two silver notices: against Shokeen on May 23, who served as personnel visas and local law officer at the French Embassy in Delhi, and on 26 May against Amit Madanlal Lakhanpal, sought by the Enforcement Directorate.From September 2019 to May 2022, Shokeen allegedly provided the facility to release the Schengen Visa by collecting illegal payments from “Rs 15,00,000 to Rs 45,00,000” per applicant. He allegedly used these income to acquire Dubai properties of 7,760,500 dirhas (“15,73,51,250”).India’s nodal agency CBI for Interpol Matters received a blue notice to find the first touch. All Indian law enforcement agencies coordinate their interpol requests through the CBI.Meanwhile, Lakhanpal allegedly collected “Rs 113.10 crore” from investors without a proper authority, made a non -recognized cryptocurrency, MTC.
