Law enforcement in action


To gain the information the FBI created an anonymous network for these mafia groups was established.

The plan was to sell this network through mobile phones and keep track of the messages, phone calls to follow them and slowly gain the lead. The plan didn't come out as a failure rather it was a success.

The anonymous phone was sold in the black market for $2000 and the bait worked. They were sold in large numbers among the mafia groups. Almost 12000 models of these phones were sold worldwide. 

The Good news: 27 million messages in 18 months. The eyes of Interpol were on every single thing from the next contract to the next money transfer.

As a cherry on the top, there were insiders and double agents giving information to Interpol.

$ 148 million in ca$sh were seized by law enforcement 


As a result, 6 tonnes of cocaine, 5 tonnes of marijuana and 2 tonnes of methamphetamine was captured.
