Interpol has taken decisive action against West African organized crime, revealing a significant crackdown under the code name Operation Jackal.

In this operation, a collaborative effort involving police forces, financial crime units, and cybercrime agencies from 21 countries was mobilized between May 15 and May 29.

The result of this coordinated strike was the blocking of over 200 bank accounts linked to the proceeds of online financial crime, amounting to €2.15 million seized or frozen.

Notably, 103 individuals connected to these criminal activities were apprehended, while an impressive 1,110 suspects were identified.

The Director of Interpol’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, Isaac Oginni, emphasized the organization’s commitment to eradicating organized crime’s financial foundation, and praised the successful international cooperation that led to this operation’s success.

This remarkable achievement serves as a model for future collaborative efforts in combatting financial crime.
