The Department of Justice announced Tuesday it's made a record number of arrests and seizures in a coordinated international effort to target fentanyl and opioid sales on the dark web.
The operation, called SpecTor, began in October 2021 and spanned the United States, Europe and South America. Across the U.S. and eight other countries, authorities arrested 288 people. They seized 85 kilograms of drugs, 117 firearms and $53 million in cash and online currencies.
