The Department of Justice has made a record number of arrests and seizures for a coordinated international scheme that targeted drug trafficking on the dark web, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Tuesday.
The DOJ's Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement team made 288 arrests in its Operation SpecTor, which cracked down on the trafficking of fentanyl and other opioids. The operation also saw the seizure of 117 firearms, 850 kilograms of drugs, and $53.4 million in cash and virtual currencies.“The Justice Department is cracking down on criminal cryptocurrency transactions and the online criminal marketplaces that enable them,” Garland said in remarks.
The U.S. leg of the operation, which was led by the FBI, included joint work with the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and more than 30 U.S. attorneys' offices.
