Global Operation Dismantles 'Ghost' Criminal Network
News summary

Australian and international law enforcement agencies have infiltrated and dismantled 'Ghost,' an encrypted messaging app used by criminals for drug trafficking, money laundering, and violent crimes. Jay Je Yoon Jung, the alleged app administrator, has been arrested and faces charges of supporting a criminal organization and profiting from crime. Authorities have arrested 51 suspects globally, including prominent organized crime members in Australia, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, and Italy. The operation, led by Europol with assistance from several countries, prevented numerous threats to life and resulted in the seizure of weapons, drugs, and over $1.1 million in cash. Officials highlighted the app's sophisticated encryption, which had made it a tool of choice for criminals, but emphasized that collaborative international efforts can still penetrate such networks. The investigation is ongoing, with more arrests and disruptions of illegal activities expected.
