The International Police Organization (Interpol) will launch a pilot anti-money laundering initiative in Africa that will trace and recover funds stolen by corrupt officials and criminals.

The launch of Interpol’s pilot program, called Silver Notices, was announced Monday by Garba Baba Umar, Interpol vice president for Africa, during a four-day training workshop for Nigerian law enforcement agencies in Abuja, Nigeria, according to a press release.
