Some of the world’s biggest crime organisations are in ruins today after an AFP-led sting brought down hundreds of alleged kingpins.
“Ironside has arrested and charged who we allege are some of the most dangerous criminals to Australia,” Mr Kershaw said.
Australian law enforcement has been arresting and charging alleged offenders and we have prevented tonnes of drugs from coming onshore.”“We have prevented mass shootings in suburbs and frustrated serious and organised crime by seizing their ill-gotten wealth.“Shut down six clandestine laboratories and acted on 21 threats to kill, including saving a family of five ... seized 104 firearms and weapons and almost $45 million in cash.
“Let me be clear. When you get access and it will come out in court, you’ll see that all they talk about is drugs, violence, hits on each other, innocent people who are going to be murdered,” he said. The app also helped police stop a mass shooting of a family of five, orchestrated by organised crime.
