INTERPOL arrested two Nigerian suspects linked to internet fraud as part of Operation Serengeti III, a multinational crackdown on cyber-enabled crime. The operation led to the arrest of 1,462 suspects across 21 countries, and investigators recovered more than $105 million in illicit funds. INTERPOL said teams also disrupted 10,909 malicious networks, identified 65,929 victims, and linked the activity to financial losses exceeding $385 million. The multinational operation targeted cybercrime and financial fraud including ransomware attacks, business email compromise schemes, online scams, and digital extortion. Investigators in Nigeria arrested one suspect allegedly behind a phishing and business email compromise operation that harvested software credentials and accumulated around 2.1 million email addresses. Authorities also recovered a luxury vehicle suspected to have been bought with proceeds from criminal activity. In a separate Nigerian investigation, law enforcement targeted an international investment fraud scheme promoted through messaging applications, leading to the arrest of another suspect. Financial investigations found more than $2.4 million in suspected proceeds moved, with a portion allegedly laundered through cryptocurrency transactions. INTERPOL said the operation involved Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, plus the United States. Support came from private cybersecurity companies including Group-IB, Kaspersky, Fortinet, Team Cymru and Meta. Investigations were continuing as authorities analyse evidence, trace suspected proceeds, and pursue other individuals connected to the criminal networks.
