In a significant crackdown on cybercrime across Africa, INTERPOL has arrested more than 1,200 suspects and recovered around $100 million in illicit funds. The operation targeted a wide network of cybercriminals involved in online fraud, hacking, and other digital crimes that affect multiple African countries.
This large-scale enforcement effort marks one of the most extensive actions to combat the rapidly expanding cybercrime ecosystem in Africa. Authorities used advanced investigative techniques and international cooperation to dismantle criminal groups that exploited online vulnerabilities and defrauded individuals, businesses, and governments.
The seizures and arrests highlight the growing commitment of regional and global law enforcement agencies to protect African citizens and the digital economy from cyber threats. Cybercrime has increasingly undermined trust in digital platforms, causing financial losses and threatening national security in many African nations.
Officials emphasized that more operations are planned to continue the fight against cybercrime, enhance cybersecurity measures, and strengthen collaboration among countries. This success also sends a strong message to those involved in cybercriminal activities that they will be pursued relentlessly.
