INTERPOL said Operation First Light 2026 led to 5,811 arrests across 97 countries and territories and the seizure of $293 million in illicit assets. Authorities said a Thai money laundering network used multiple cryptocurrencies and cross-chain transfers to hide criminal proceeds, while one suspect’s crypto wallet processed more than $122.5 million over 10 months. Investigations are continuing as participating countries pursue additional suspects and recover more illicit funds.
