The AFP alleges 376 active handsets operated in Australia, linked to criminal activities such as violence, money laundering, and drug trafficking, illustrating the platform's extensive use.
The successful infiltration of Ghost by the AFP allowed them to inform raids across four Australian states, leading to 38 arrests and the seizure of 25 illicit weapons.
Ian McCartney, AFP Deputy Commissioner, stated that Ghost was implicated in serious criminal activities, facilitating Italian Organized Crime, motorcycle gang members, and even threats of murder.
Europol's Catherine De Bolle highlighted that despite the hidden nature of criminal networks, collective law enforcement efforts are successful in dismantling such operations.
