The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced the arrest and detention of more than 130 individuals in Ghana following a crackdown on an alleged international scam-centre network. The operation specifically targeted fraud schemes aimed at American citizens and resulted in the dismantling of the targeted network.
FBI Director Kash Patel disclosed the enforcement action and update on the social media platform X, noting that the operation is part of the bureau's broader global initiative known as Operation Blackout, which targets transnational fraud networks. According to the FBI, the Ghana-based operation has led to the identification of nearly $10 million linked to the illicit activities.
