The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has secured its first Purple Notice from the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
The Purple Notice alerts 196 member countries about a newly identified trade-based money laundering (TBML) network operating across borders.
The notice details how shell companies used forged trade documents, under-invoiced imports, and circular re-exports to move illicit funds.
The Purple Notice helps global agencies share intelligence on concealment methods and strengthens cooperation through networks like ARIN-AP and the Globe Network.
