Police Disrupt Major Sydney Drug Syndicate

A significant international crackdown has led to the dismantling of multiple organized crime networks involved in drug trafficking. Europol announced the dismantling of the Ghost platform, which was a crucial tool for criminal organizations, resulting in the seizure of over 1 million euros in cash, weapons, and drugs across several countries, including Australia and the U.S. Concurrently, Australian authorities have shut down 'The Commission', a syndicate allegedly responsible for over $1.8 billion worth of cocaine sales in Sydney, controlling daily transactions estimated at 50,000. The investigation into this group, sparked by a prior arrest, revealed extensive operations involving sophisticated smuggling methods and significant cash and drug seizures. In the Dominican Republic, a joint operation with U.S. officials arrested multiple suspects linked to a drug trafficking ring receiving shipments from South America, responsible for over two tons of drugs. These coordinated efforts highlight a growing international commitment to combat organized crime and drug trafficking.
