👮 Operation Storm Makers II
- The arrest of 281 individuals for offences such as human trafficking, passport forgery, corruption, #telecom fraud, and sexual exploitation;
- The rescue of 149 human trafficking victims;
- More than 360 investigations opened, many of which remain ongoing.
The human cost of #cyber scam centres continues to rise. Only concerted global action can truly address the globalization of this crime trend. While the majority of cases remain concentrated in Southeast #Asia, Operation Storm Makers II offers further evidence that this modus operandi is spreading, with victims sourced from other continents and new scam centres appearing as far afield as Latin #America.
