According to police, more than 800 suspected criminals have been arrested globally after being tricked into using an FBI-run encrypted chat app, says BBC.
The operation, co-conceived by Australia and the FBI, involved the hidden distribution of cellphones with the ANOM app among criminals. This trick allowed the police to monitor criminals’ discussions about drug smuggling, money laundering, and even murder plots. Drug gangs and persons with connections to the mafia were among the targets.
Drugs, weapons, expensive automobiles, and cash were also seized during the operation, that took place in more than a dozen nations. This included eight tons of cocaine, 250 firearms, and more than $48 million in various global currencies and cryptocurrencies.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the operation had struck a heavy blow against organized crime around the world.
