NSW criminal syndicates dismantled under AFP-led Operation Ironside
The Australian Federal Police’s Operation IRONSIDE EAST infiltrated encrypted communications of criminal groups targeting New South Wales, resulting in the arrest of 55 people and seizure of more than 1.5 tonnes of illicit drugs and more than $19 million in cash in the last week.
Operation IRONSIDE EAST has charged major drug trafficking and money laundering facilitators in New South Wales connected to Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMCG) and transnational serious and organised criminal syndicates operating in Australia and offshore.
Further search warrants are anticipated in the coming days in New South Wales, across Australia and offshore to coincide with global activity into the monitored criminal groups.
