51 arrests made in global takedown of Ghost crime platform
Briefly

David McLean, assistant commissioner at the AFP, emphasized, "As a result of our efforts, we will allege hundreds of criminals... have been using Ghost, in Australia and overseas, to import illicit drugs and to order the killing of individuals involved in various criminal enterprises." This highlights the vast network of crime supported by Ghost.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) confirmed that 38 additional Ghost users are currently facing "serious charges" for their activities on the platform, indicating the law's robust response to organized crime.
Operation Kraken led by the AFP has intervened in 50 threats to life made by users of the Ghost platform, showcasing the operation's proactive approach in addressing severe criminal threats.
Ghost operated similarly to EncroChat but was on a smaller scale, serving as a vital tool for various criminals, primarily drug traffickers and money launderers.
