INTERPOL'S Operation Jackal IV, conducted between November 2025 and June 2026, has identified 263 cybercrime suspects and resulted in 58 arrests across 22 countries. The operation primarily targeted West African organized crime groups involved in financial fraud. Notable actions included police raids in South Africa on syndicates running romance scams, leading to the arrest of 39 individuals and the seizure of $2.67 million.
In Romania, authorities dismantled a call center involved in an investment scam, leading to arrests and the recovery of €330,000. The operation also discovered a 196-member Crime-as-a-Service network in Argentina, and investigators noted a rise in sextortion cases targeting minors. The initiative follows previous operations and aims to disrupt money laundering and enhance international cooperation in combating cybercrime.
