In a significant breakthrough against organized crime, international law enforcement agencies have successfully dismantled the encrypted communication platform known as "Ghost.

" This platform, which gained popularity among criminals after the takedown of previous services like Encrochat and Sky ECC, was primarily used for illicit activities such as drug trafficking, murder, and money laundering.

The operation, dubbed "Kraken," involved collaboration between nine countries and led to the arrest of Jay Je Yoon Jung, the alleged mastermind behind Ghost, in Sydney, Australia.

The crackdown has resulted in numerous arrests and the seizure of drugs and weapons.

Europol has announced a press conference to provide further details on this major operation, highlighting Sweden's involvement in the international effort.
