INTERPOL and AFPOL conducted a two-month joint operation targeting terrorism financing and its support for illicit activities, arresting 83 individuals in six African countries, including 19 for the “illegal use” of virtual assets. During the operation, authorities in participating countries screened over 15,000 individuals and entities, uncovering approximately $260 million in fiat and virtual currency potentially linked to terrorist activities. To date, approximately $600,000 has been seized, and further investigations are ongoing to trace and recover additional assets.
