Europol targets organized crime across Europe, including CR

The European Police Office (Europol) has arrested more than 1,000 people in what was allegedly the single largest assault on organized crime in Europe. The operations were carried out over nine days in 34 countries, including the Czech Republic. According to Europol director Rob Wainwright, the Operation Archimedes targeted all kinds of crime, ranging from drug trafficking to illegal immigration, tax fraud, counterfeiting and theft, netting large amounts of drugs and saving 30 Romanian children from being trafficked.
