Can assets be frozen because of Interpol or sanctions-related issues?

I’m trying to understand how international cases affect personal and business assets. I’ve heard that in some situations, accounts or property can be frozen even before a court decision, especially when sanctions or international investigations are involved. Is this actually linked to Interpol, or is it a separate legal mechanism?

Asset freezing is often connected indirectly. Interpol notices, sanctions regimes, and financial compliance systems frequently overlap. While Interpol itself doesn’t freeze assets, its alerts can trigger actions by banks or regulators. I looked into this during a cross-border dispute and found https://intercollegium.com/ informative on asset recovery and financial crime defense. They explain how legal teams work to challenge freezes and protect assets under international law.
