In a large-scale international operation named TorNado, Europol arrested 45 individuals in Hungary as part of a coordinated effort involving 14 countries, resulting in a total of 354 arrests. Authorities seized cash, drugs, cryptocurrencies, and weapons, including five tons of drugs and assets worth over 210 million euros. Significant quantities of illegal substances were confiscated across Europe, with notable amounts of amphetamines, ketamine, MDMA, and cannabis. The operation also targeted cybercrime, leading to the shutdown of 235 servers and 257 domains linked to ransomware attacks and data theft, identifying 6.4 million victims whose data was compromised.
