288 arrested in dark net drug sale crackdown

International law enforcement officials arrested 288 people and seized 850 kilograms of drugs as part of an investigation into an online market for narcotics.

Police in the US, Europe and South America also seized 117 firearms and $53.4 million in cash and virtual currencies as part of a years-long effort to curb the spread of fentanyl and fentanyl-laced narcotics, the US Department of Justice said in a statement Tuesday.
