cibercrimen

Interpol operation in Africa results in 1,462 arrests and the recovery of $105 million.

An operation against #cibercrimen , coordinated by Interpol and spanning 20 African countries and the United States, resulted in 1,462 arrests and the recovery of more than $105 million in assets.

A case in Nigeria, as part of this operation, enabled investigators to trace more than $2.4 million in funds believed to have come from criminal activities, a significant portion of which had been laundered through cryptocurrency transactions. The operation highlights the growing use of cryptocurrencies as a tool for moving illicit funds across different African jurisdictions.
