INTERPOL's Operation Red Card 2.0 led to 651 arrests and recovered over USD 4.3 million across 16 African countries, targeting cybercrime rings in a two-month crackdown from December 8, 2025 to January 30, 2026. This extensive operation significantly disrupted fraudulent activities, particularly in Kenya and Nigeria.

• Nigeria dismantled a high-yield investment fraud ring, taking down over 1,000 fraudulent social media accounts and arresting six members for infiltrating a major telecommunications provider.
• In Kenya, 27 arrests were made in connection with fake 'global investment' schemes that lured victims with promises of lucrative returns, often requiring investments as low as USD 50 (~ KES 6,500).
• The operation exposed scams tied to over USD 45 million in financial losses and identified 1,247 victims across Africa and globally, with Neal Jetton emphasizing the importance of collaboration against transnational cybercrime.
