Interpol Recovers $105M in African Cybercrime Sweep That Shut Illegal Crypto Mines

Interpol's Operation Serengeti III recovered $105 million and led to 1,462 arrests across 21 countries in a sweep targeting African cybercrime. Angolan police seized more than 2,000 crypto mining devices as part of the crackdown. The action signals tighter enforcement against illicit crypto operations, though it targets criminal activity rather than legitimate market participants.
