Authorities carry out arrests worldwide as part of Operation TorNado, targeting dark web vendors and buyers involved in narcotics-related activity. Multiple outlets report that 354 people are arrested during the operation, which is presented as a coordinated international effort against illicit trading on specific dark web marketplaces.
Coverage also describes the investigation focus: police pursue individuals who traded on five named marketplaces—Archetyp, Bohemia, Nemesis, Kingdom, and Tor2Door. Outlets say these marketplaces were already offline by the time investigators moved in, but investigators argue that users and associated actors remained traceable. One outlet adds that the operation involves police in multiple countries working alongside Europol, while another emphasizes the FBI’s announcement of arrests. Overall, the reporting aligns on the number arrested and the marketplace list, with differences mainly in the operation’s stated timeline and which agencies are highlighted.
