An international cybercrime operation, codenamed Operation Red Card 2.0, led by law enforcement from 16 African countries, resulted in 651 arrests and the recovery of over $4.3 million. This initiative aimed to dismantle the infrastructure supporting online scams and high-yield investment fraud. Conducted between December 8, 2025, and January 30, 2026, the operation underscores a significant collaborative effort to combat cybercrime across the continent. INTERPOL reported these developments as part of their ongoing commitment to global security.
