Interpol has reported a significant crackdown on narcotics trafficking across Europe, North America, and Africa, resulting in the arrest of over 200 individuals and the seizure of illegal drugs and precursor chemicals worth approximately $1.6 billion. The operation, known as Operation Lionfish Hurricane, conducted over a span of two months in April and May, led to the confiscation of a staggering 615 tons of illicit drugs and chemicals.
Among the items seized were 65 stolen cars, 30,000 commercial-grade detonators diverted from military or commercial mining activities, and a 'narco-sub' - a homemade semi-submersible vessel used for transporting cocaine through South American waterways and across the Atlantic - discovered in the jungles of Guyana.
