Global law enforcement agency INTERPOL has arrested 58 individuals and identified 263 suspects in a massive crackdown on cryptocurrency investment scams, romance fraud, and money laundering networks. The operation, dubbed Operation Jackal IV, involved 22 countries across six continents and lasted for eight months from November 2025 to June 2026.

Police seized $2.67 million and blocked 257 bank accounts during raids in Johannesburg, South Africa. Romanian authorities also arrested 11 suspects linked to an investment scheme that allegedly moved €143 million worldwide.

The operation targeted West African organized crime groups, including the Black Axe and similar organizations accused of running romance scams, fake cryptocurrency investments, business email fraud, and other financial crimes.
