As many as 597 suspects were arrested as part of the campaign that targeted transnational drug trafficking networks between April and June.

The ISA, which includes the UAE, Bahrain, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Israel, Italy, Slovakia, Singapore, France and the Netherlands, carried out the operation in partnership with The Police Community of the Americas (Ameripol).
