The agency stated that: The law enforcement effort, codenamed Operation Jackal, involved the participation of many countries. They include:
Argentina Australia Côte d’Ivoire France Germany Ireland Italy Malaysia Nigeria Spain South Africa the U.A.E the U.K. the U.S.
Moreover, two of the alleged online scammers, who were arrested late last month in South Africa, are claimed to have orchestrated a variety of fraudulent schemes that netted them $1.8 million from victims. In addition to that, the probe led to 49 property searches, resulting in the seizure of 12,000 SIM cards and other luxury assets. They included residential property, three cars, and tens of thousands in cash. Moreover, it also intercepted €1.2 million in the bank accounts of suspects. Interpol’s Stephen Kavanagh stated: Many groups like Black Axe channel money from online scams into other crime areas. So, we need to be aware of such scams.
