Largest International Operation Against Darknet Trafficking of Fentanyl and Opioids

Operation SpecTor was a coordinated international effort spanning three continents to disrupt fentanyl and opioid trafficking on the darknet, or dark web. The operation was conducted across the United States, Europe, and South America, and was a result of the continued partnership between the Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement (JCODE)and foreign law enforcement against the illegal sale of drugs and other illicit goods and services on the darknet (Silk Road anyone??). In the US alone, investigations and prosecutions are being conducted in more than 30 federal districts. This is a HUGE deal and a great example of what we can accomplish with international coordinated efforts. To learn more about how the Darknet operates, click HERE for the UNODC Darknet booklet.
