UK Finds Ways to Fight Dark Web
January 28, 2019
Battling the dark web and its many tentacles of crime is a game of cat and mouse. As soon as law enforcement agents catch on to a scheme, criminals can vanish. However, the tide feels like it is turning, as we discovered from an article found in Breaking News, “Dark Web Criminals Who Sold Fentanyl Around the World Jailed in UK.”
According to the story:
“Prosecutors said that over 2,800 packages were sent by the trio, and at least 635 grams of pure carfentanyl, which is described by some experts as being between 3,000 and 5,000 times stronger than heroin, was found at the premises following their arrests. A raid on the premises by officers following the defendants’ arrests in April 2017 is believed to be the largest single seizure of the two drugs in Europe.”
England’s sophistication with tracking down dark web crime is to be applauded. It is also, oddly, a necessity. Studies have shown that the UK is among the top countries that buy drugs through the dark web. For the tie being, it seems Scotland Yard and the like are keeping up with the bad guys. We can only hope this trend continues.
