In a significant breakthrough, a major international investigation initiated from the seizure of two mobile phones has unveiled a complex global network of criminal activities spanning Europe, Asia, and Australia. The revelation will be formally presented at a press conference scheduled on March 6, 2026, at Europol Headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands.

The investigation, which began in a small Swedish town, led to the discovery of multiple interconnected criminal groups involved in extensive drug trafficking and money laundering operations. Through coordinated efforts across various countries, law enforcement agencies have significantly disrupted these networks, targeting critical figures within these illicit operations.

Speakers at the upcoming conference include notable law enforcement officials such as Mats Berggren from the Swedish Police, Commander Chris Woods of the Australian Federal Police, and several others from Europol and Eurojust. The event, highlighting the collaborative work of agencies from Australia, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Europol, and Eurojust, underscores the international scope and success of this operation. For those unable to attend in person, the proceedings will be livestreamed on Europol’s official website, ensuring global accessibility to the developments of this landmark case.
