The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reported a significant operation targeting a suspected scam-centre in Ghana, resulting in the arrest of over 130 individuals. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the operation has identified nearly $10 million in losses and 89 victims. Over 300 electronic devices were seized as part of the ongoing investigation. Mr. Patel stated that this operation is part of the FBI's broader "Operation Blackout," which aims to dismantle international scam centres that defraud American citizens and exploit trafficked workers. Some individuals detained are considered victims and will be repatriated to their home countries. The FBI Director noted that "Operation Blackout" has led to approximately $17 billion in seizures globally, hundreds of arrests, and the rescue of thousands of trafficked workers, while also preventing an estimated $670 million in losses by warning potential victims.
