INTERPOL crackdown on West African crime rings uncovers troubling new trend
INTERPOL's Operation Jackal IV, which ran from November 2025 to June 2026, resulted in arrests of 58 individuals and identification of 263 suspects across 22 countries targeting West African organized crime groups including Black Axe. The operation focused on disrupting money laundering, identifying high-value targets, and seizing assets to support prosecutions.
Why it matters: Security practitioners monitoring cybercriminal activity and fraud networks should track these organized crime takedowns, as West African groups increasingly leverage cyber capabilities and financial crime infrastructure that intersect with digital security threats.
