Global Dark Web Crackdown Targeting Online Drug and Criminal Networks

  • Europol led Operation RapTor, resulting in the apprehension of 270 individuals involved in illegal trading on the dark web across ten countries, targeting markets dealing in drugs, weapons, and counterfeit products.
  • The operation was based on intelligence obtained from the takedown of multiple dark web markets such as Nemesis, Tor2Door, Bohemia, and Kingdom, building on the investigative strategy employed during 2023’s Operation SpecTor.
  • Law enforcement agencies from the US, UK, Germany, France, Brazil, South Korea, and others cooperated closely, sharing intelligence to identify suspects and seize illicit goods.
  • Authorities seized over €184 million in cash and cryptocurrencies, more than two tonnes of drugs including fentanyl mixtures, 180 firearms, 12,500 counterfeit items, and four tonnes of illegal tobacco.
  • The arrests and seizures dealt a significant blow to dark web networks and signal ongoing success in penetrating online criminal activities through international cooperation.
