Secret operations in 21 countries, world police in technological war with the Nigerian mafia
Police units around the world have joined forces in a series of undercover operations targeting one of West Africa’s most notorious criminal networks, the Black Axe. Operation Jackal III involved officers in armored vehicles carrying out searches in 21 different states between April and July this year.
The mission, coordinated by the global police agency, Interpol, led to the arrest of 300 people with links to the Black Ax and other criminal groups that were part of the Nigerian mafia. Interpol called the operation a major blow to the criminal network, but warned that its international reach and technological sophistication meant the group remained a global threat.
Canadian authorities say they have busted a money laundering scheme linked to Black Ax worth more than $5 billion in 2017. “They are very organized and structured,” a senior Interpol official told the BBC.
According to a 2022 report, the Black Ax mafia gang and similar groups were responsible for most of the world’s financial cyber fraud, as well as many of the most serious crimes. The operation by Interpol was years in the making and led to the seizure of $3 million in illegal assets and the freezing of over 700 bank accounts.
Most members of the Black Ax mafia gang have university degrees and were recruited during high school. The organization is a secret criminal network that engages in trafficking, prostitution and murder around the world. But most of his income comes from cyber crimes.
