Interpol’s Operation Jackal III Arrests 300 People in a global crackdown on West African Crime Networks
Interpol’s Operation Jackal III, spanning 21 countries from April to July, focused on West African organized crime groups involved in online financial fraud. The operation led to 300 arrests, $3 million seized, and 720 bank accounts blocked. Notably targeted was Black Axe, a prominent group engaged in cyber fraud, human trafficking, and drug smuggling, operating globally with ties to violent crimes. In Argentina, after a five-year investigation, authorities seized $1.2 million in counterfeit banknotes, arrested 72 suspects, and froze 100 bank accounts linked to Black Axe. Interpol emphasized the necessity of international law enforcement collaboration to combat the rising financial fraud originating from West Africa and the extensive criminal networks involved.
Jacob Zuma Faces ANC Disciplinary Hearing Amid Political Turmoil
Former South African President Jacob Zuma, facing a disciplinary hearing with the African National Congress (ANC) on Wednesday, could potentially be expelled from the party. Zuma, 82, who led the ANC and South Africa until 2018, has since split from the party and launched the MK Party, which won 14% of the national vote in May’s elections, impacting the ANC’s majority. Zuma’s rift with the ANC intensified after he accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of treason and campaigned against the ANC. Despite his suspension from the ANC in January for undermining the party’s integrity, Zuma retains his membership but faces expulsion pending the hearing’s outcome. His political influence remains significant, evident in MK Party’s surprising election performance, affecting South Africa’s political landscape. Zuma continues to face legal challenges, including a trial next year for corruption allegations predating his presidency. The hearing, held at the ANC headquarters in Johannesburg, underscores the ongoing power struggle within South African politics, shaping the nation’s future political dynamics. (c) AP

The sneakers depict Trump with a bloody cheek and fist raised, symbolizing his resilience during the incident. Only 5,000 pairs are available, with 10 randomly autographed. The company’s marketing emphasizes Trump’s determination and bravery, positioning the sneakers as collector’s items celebrating a historic moment. Previously, CIC Ventures launched “Never Surrender High-Tops” for $399, adorned with American flag details. The sales highlight Trump allies’ efforts to capitalize on his public image and rally support ahead of potential political campaigns. Trump recently received a warm reception at the Republican National Convention, fueling speculation about his return to politics amid challenges facing President Biden’s reelection bid. Despite claims of non-political affiliation, CIC Ventures’ marketing and Trump campaign endorsements suggest a close association with political messaging. (c) AP

Traces of Cyanide Found in Victims at Bangkok Hotel
Thai authorities are investigating the deaths of six Vietnamese and American guests at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, where cyanide was found in their blood. The victims, aged 37 to 56, were discovered after failing to check out. Initial findings suggest they consumed poison, possibly cyanide, which was also detected in cups and bottles in their room. Autopsy results confirmed cyanide poisoning as the likely cause of death, ruling out physical trauma. The incident, deemed personal rather than a threat to tourists, revolves around a financial dispute involving a failed investment in Japan. Police suspect one person among the victims orchestrated the poisoning. Investigations involve embassies and law enforcement agencies from both countries, including the American FBI. The Grand Hyatt Erawan, a renowned Bangkok landmark, remains secure amidst the investigation, contrasting with past security concerns linked to the adjacent Erawan Shrine. (c) AP
Rare Photos Reveal Mashco Piro Tribe Emergence Amid Amazon Logging Threat
Rare images of the Mashco Piro tribe, an uncontacted Indigenous group in Peru’s Amazon, have surfaced, showing them near logging sites in Madre de Dios. The tribe, traditionally reclusive, has been increasingly visible as they move away from encroaching loggers. More than 50 members were recently spotted, highlighting their vulnerability amidst logging activities by companies like Canales Tahuamanu. The discovery underscores ongoing concerns over Indigenous rights and environmental impact in the region. Efforts by groups like Survival International aim to protect these tribes from outside influences as they navigate their ancestral lands amid modern pressures. (c) Reuters
