Europol Helps Bust €80M Drug Trafficking Network
Europol has supported a major international operation that dismantled a Kosovar-based organised crime group running an €80 million criminal enterprise. The investigation relied on analysing messages from the encrypted SKY ECC communication platform. This intelligence led authorities to uncover large-scale drug trafficking, fraud, and illegal weapons possession. The cross-border cooperation highlights the effectiveness of using decrypted communications to take down complex criminal networks operating across Europe.
Analysis of encrypted chats is proving crucial for police in dismantling major crime rings.
