"A global crackdown on human traffickers and migrant smugglers coordinated by Interpol led to the arrest of more than 3,700 suspects and aided over 4,400 potential trafficking victims around the world, the law enforcement organization said Monday. Interpol said 14,000 officers carried out Operation Liberterra III between Nov. 10 and Nov. 21. The operation across 119 countries resulted in 3,744 arrests, the protection of 4,414 potential victims and the detection of 12,992 people caught in illegal migration schemes."
The Independent sends journalists to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates political PACs and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word', while keeping reporting freely accessible and funded by donations. A global Interpol operation, Liberterra III, deployed 14,000 officers across 119 countries from Nov. 10 to Nov. 21 and resulted in 3,744 arrests, protection of 4,414 potential trafficking victims and detection of 12,992 people involved in illegal migration schemes. Authorities opened at least 720 new investigations. Interpol noted criminal networks are evolving, exploiting new routes, digital platforms and vulnerable populations, and identifying patterns helps anticipate threats, disrupt networks earlier and better protect victims.
