Interpol has arrested over 300 individuals linked to the notorious West African criminal group, Black Axe, and other affiliated networks, as part of Operation Jackal III.
Conducted across 21 countries from April to July 2024, the operation targeted online financial fraud, resulting in the seizure of assets worth $3 million, the blocking of 720 bank accounts, and the identification of over 400 additional suspects.
The crackdown highlights the growing need for international cooperation to combat financial crime originating from West Africa.
