European police have
arrested more than 1,000 suspects in an unprecedented nine-day swoop on
organized crime. At least 30 Romanian children have been saved from child
traffickers and over 2,000kg of drugs have been seized.
Operation Archimedes,
lasting from September15 to 23, "was the single largest coordinated
assault an organized crime in Europe," the chief of the European police
organization, Rob Wainwright, told reporters on Wednesday.
Organized crime groups
and their infrastructures was the target of the operation that involved
Eurojust, Frontex and Interpol.
Australia, Norway,
Serbia, Switzerland, the USA and Colombia also participated in the raids in
hundreds of locations across the European Union.
According to
Wainwright, as a result of the operation 1,027 people were arrested, 30
children were rescued from trafficking, about 10,000 illegal migrants were
checked and over 2.1 tonnes of drugs including cocaine, heroin and cannabis
were confiscated.
Europol head said the
operation, that was coordinated from The Hague, the Dutch home city of the
organization, "has led I think to a very significant attack on the whole
criminal infrastructure in Europe."
"What we have
seen emerging is an integrated underground criminal economy," Reuters
reports Wainwright as saying, referring to the ‘dark net’ – or encrypted
internet – used by criminals to communicate with each other.
The arrests during the
biggest European sweep were mainly made among criminal middlemen and criminal
groups’ mediators.
“Months in the
planning, it was a carefully coordinated series of attacks on key nodal points
and crime sectors that underpin the underground crime economy in Europe,"
Europol head said.
