'Unprecedented' AFP operation smashes criminal underworld

AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw says Australia is a safer country due to an unprecedented police operation which saw hundreds of underworld figures arrested. The AFP, which worked closely with the FBI, deceived key crime figures into using a communication app. The app, known as AN0M, was operated by the FBI with the AFP providing the “technical capability”. Prime Minister Scott Morrison labelled it a “watershed moment” in Australian law enforcement history. “As the minister stated, more than 4,000 officers from law enforcement in Australia have been involved in executing over 525 search warrants in every mainland state in Australia,” Mr Kershaw said. “We have arrested the alleged kingmakers behind these crimes, prevented mass shootings in suburbs and frustrated serious and organised crime by seizing their ill-gotten wealth. “As of today, we have charged 224 alleged offenders, including 525 charges laid, shut down six clandestine laboratories and acted on 21 threats to kill, including saving a family of five, and seized 104 firearms and weapons and almost $45m in cash. “And these figures are likely to increase over the coming days. “Collectively, these alleged offenders are facing jail terms that could run into hundreds of years and some of the charges they are facing carry life imprisonment.”
