Interpol has struck a major blow against West African financial crime with Operation Jackal III, leading to the arrest of 300 suspects and the seizure of assets worth $3 million.
Running from April to July, this operation targeted online financial fraud and West African crime syndicates like Black Axe.
Interpol’s annual operation led to 300 arrests, identified over 400 suspects, and blocked more than 720 bank accounts.
Isaac Oginni, Director of INTERPOL’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre, emphasized the need for international collaboration to combat increasing financial fraud from West Africa, stating that the operation helps weaken the influence of organized crime leaders and reduce their global impact.
The operation spanned 21 countries, including Argentina, where a major Nigerian-led network was dismantled, and Switzerland, where cocaine and cash were seized.
The International Criminal Police Organization, commonly known as INTERPOL is an international organization that promotes worldwide police cooperation and crime control.
