International Asset Protection Mechanisms: INTERPOL, OFAC, FATF, and Others
This ARGA report systematically analyzes international mechanisms affecting asset protection in cross-border contexts. It examines the roles of INTERPOL (police data, notices, CCF protection), OFAC (blocking, licensing, delisting), FATF (AML/CFT standards, grey list, beneficial ownership), UNCAC (asset recovery, freezing and return of assets), as well as FIUs and the Egmont Group (financial intelligence). ARGA experts demonstrate that modern asset protection requires simultaneous work with data, sanctions, compliance, and cross-border cooperation. A practical multi-level defense model is proposed, covering all key international regimes.
