'Cybercrime kingpins' arrested by Interpol and Hawks in Pretoria raids

TimesLIVE understands the suspects are believed to be connected to Nigerian organised crime syndicates operating sophisticated cybercrime networks.

“The search and seizure operation by the joint team recovered electronic equipment, including laptops and phones, thousands of rand in cash, as well as an unlicensed firearm, in Wapadrand and Sunnyside,” said Hawks spokesperson Katlego Mogale. “The two foreign nationals are alleged to be part of a cult known as the 'Air Lords' who are said to be rivals of the 'Black Axe' movement. The suspects will be charged, detained and extradited by Interpol.

“The suspects will be linked to online scams being investigated by the 419 provincial task team. This arrest is but one of several simultaneous happening in other countries tracing the suspects involved in online scams such as romance, investments, Bitcoin, employment and related advance fee fraud.”
