The sting, known as Operation Ironside, has allegedly exposed criminals linked to South American drug cartels, Asian Triads and Middle Eastern and European criminal syndicates.Police claim the plan to use an encrypted app was hatched overseas over a few beers with FBI agents in 2018, before police figured out how to decrypt all messages.
The app was unwittingly distributed by fugitive Australian drug trafficker Hakan Ayik, after he was given the device by undercover agents. Ayik, 42, recommended the app to criminal associates who would purchase the device pre-loaded with AN0M on the black market, allowing them to send messages, distort messages and take videos.Authorties said about 4,000 police raided properties this week, with the investigation growing so large the AFP paused its operations over the past few weeks, except for child protection and counter-terrorism.Half of the criminal activity detected on the app was in New South Wales.
Police conducted 210 search warrants yesterday, which they said broke the previous record of 50 search warrants in a single day.
Why ScottyDoesNothing have to appear did he drive the paddy wagon ?
Is this an advertisement for Authoritarianism? Look I have the police on side you better watch out people calling out my BS! Since when does a PM join a drug bust press conference? Answer: When that PM needs to try and deflect like hell from his absolutely dismal leadership
Why is this news abc All of the raids that they gave us information for happened weeks even months ago It's so obvious the whole press conferences was just a distraction to give the government a break from there covid19 debacle and now added to that a very sick child prisoner!!
Surely they had more assets
It is not the purview of the PM to be involved in police operations. bludger
Does this mean the AFP can listen in on the Liberal Party secret meetings with underworld figures at the Lobster Cave? AFP didn’t stop Howard and the Liberal Party fast track citizenship of known Italian mafia figure Tony Madafferi… Italian officials wanted deportation 🤔
Dope
He doesn't hold a hose, he doesn't do quarantine, he doesn't organise vaccine roll outs, he leaves Australian born children in pain and suffering on Christmas Island, but somehow he has time to talk about drug busts. Smoke and mirrors from the most evil government AUS has had.
Didn’t see it but I assume he was wearing a tactical vest and FBI cap for it? ScottyFromPhotoOps Scottylovescosplay
Organised crime (Government and Law enforcement) case closed!
D E F L E C T I O N
Deflection from denying healthcare to a child in detention and now seriously ill.
LOL! Where is you nephew morrison?
Don’t you mean another party political that allows ScottyFromMarketing to rant about the fact that the parliament won’t pass some unnecessary and draconian legislation to allow the LNP cronies to spy on innocent Australians….
Also more interested in what the changes to Medicare mean. We're moving to US-style user-pays system?
I'm more interested in knowing if the 4 year old girl abused by the Australian Gov to the point where she's been hospitalised (again) will survive her latest trauma
Well that was a Lot of Crap! Deflect Deflect! Fear Mongering !! pff
What a great job inspector Slomo is doing, does he hold the magnifying glass....what about Medicare? ScottyDoesNothing ScottyFromQanon HandsOffOurMedicare
I guess the PM shares the communities support for a good job by law enforcement. Very good work 👍
What a bloody farce that presser was MorrisonTopCopOnTheBeat - rubbish!
Gosh, look over there!
D D D Deflection!
But no Federal ICAC yet so who do you think you're fooling.
........to deflect from Tharnicaa You forgot that bit.
Scomo be like
How about medicare?
Can the FBI help the AFP with the alleged Parliament House rape?
Finally, Zumbo getting charged
And taking pot shots at Labor. Totally inappropriate when standing with the Federal Police and FBI. They needed to leave before he made any such comment. And against the cruelty against the family on Christmas Island, they look ridiculous.
Nothing to do with thePM
Why is Scott Morrisson giving this presser? Is he so desperate to take credit for anything that he just jumps in now?
