LONDON: More than 400 criminals, including senior “kingpins” in organised crime, have been sent to prison in a London Metropolitan Police operation targeting the EncroChat encrypted messaging platform, reported German news agency .
Commander Paul Brogden, head of specialist crime at the Met, said it was “the most significant operation targeting organised crime figures in the Met’s history”. Brogden told the PA news agency: “These criminals were using what we call a ‘hard and secure’ communication device, so effectively it’s like a social media platform that the criminals believed that we couldn’t access.
Brogden said many of those uncovered in the operation were “the kingpins” of organised crime networks in London, adding: “They were sitting in their leafy enclaves and didn’t expect police to knock on their door and we did and brought them to justice, so I’m incredibly pleased about that.” Messages were also found showing Aslan attempted to source a firearm – a Makarov pistol – to shoot a business associate in May 2020.
