Interpol coordinates Operation Ramz, a multi-country cybercrime crackdown across the Middle East and North Africa. The operation involves police and investigators from 13 countries in the region and is described as the largest and most wide-ranging law enforcement collaboration in this area to date. According to multiple outlets, authorities arrest 201 people during the effort and also identify additional suspects.
Reporting characterizes the operation as targeting cyber threats and working to investigate and disrupt malicious infrastructure linked to cybercrime activity. The work is carried out across participating countries between October 2025 and February 2026. One source notes that while the reported arrest numbers are modest relative to the scale of cross-border operations, the coordinated action spans a broad set of jurisdictions in MENA.
Together, the outlets describe Operation Ramz as a coordinated international effort led by Interpol to disrupt regional cybercrime networks through arrests, investigations, and identification of further suspected actors. Figures cited include 201 arrests and 382 additional suspects identified.
