Phone, Internet fraud: Over 20,000 arrested in Interpol campaign
A year-long campaign led by the Interpol helped authorities "on every continent" to arrest a total of over 20,000 online and telephone fraudsters, the international organisation said on Wednesday.
Since September 2019, 35 countries have participated in the operation dubbed "First Light" that led to 21,549 arrests in more than 10,000 raids, as well as the seizure of almost $154 million of "illicit funds".
It was "the first time law enforcement has cooperated with Interpol on a global scale to combat telecoms fraud, with operations taking place on every continent," the organisation said in a statement.
