Interpol arrested at least 1,462 people across Africa after an operation recovered $105 million in illicit funds and disrupted thousands of malicious networks. The international operation, known as Serengeti III, ran between June 29 and August 31 and involved law enforcement agencies from 21 countries. Investigators said criminal activity linked to the cases caused more than $385 million in losses. Investigators identified nearly 66,000 victims of cybercriminal activity, including online investment scams, ransomware, digital extortion and fraudulent business communications. The disruption work targeted 10,909 malicious networks. In Uganda, police dismantled two international fraud operations and arrested 365 foreign nationals accused of targeting victims in Asia through investment and pension scams. Authorities said the suspects ran call centers where workers used prepared scripts and relied on counterfeit investment websites and fraudulent trading platforms. In Angola, authorities shut down two illegal cryptocurrency mining facilities and arrested nine suspects. Police confiscated more than 2,000 mining devices and seized six unauthorised electrical installations, with the seized power infrastructure valued at more than $1 million. In Nigeria, investigators arrested a suspect accused of running a large-scale phishing scheme that harvested software login credentials and about 2.1 million email addresses. Another Nigerian investigation uncovered an international investment fraud operation promoted through messaging applications, with investigators tracing more than $2.4 million in suspected criminal proceeds, much of it moved through cryptocurrency transactions. Authorities also disrupted fraudulent mobile lending operations in Tanzania, an online vehicle import scam in Gabon, and a cybercrime network in the Republic of Congo, where 30 suspects were arrested. Interpol said intelligence sharing and cooperation with technology companies helped investigators identify suspicious online infrastructure and trace activity across borders. Several investigations remain underway as authorities pursue additional suspects and examine digital evidence recovered during the operation.
