<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The operation, which mainly occurred in the US and Europe and included four arrests in the UK, came more than a year after officials took down the so-called Wall Street Market, believed to have been one of the largest illegal online marketplaces on the darknet.</p>
<p>The darknet is a part of the internet hosted within an encrypted network and accessible only through specialised anonymity-providing tools, most notably the Tor browser.<br />
Law enforcement seized cash and virtual currency as well as 500kg of drugs, the Justice Department said.<br />
About 275kg of drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and other opioids, were seized in the US.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>The arrests included 121 in the US, two in Canada, 42 in Germany, eight in the Netherlands, four in the UK, three in Australia and one in Sweden.<br />
The US Justice Department said its investigation was conti<br />
nuing and investigators were still working to identify other individuals behind darknet accounts.<br />
Deputy attorney general Jeffrey Rosen said the operation showed “there will be no safe haven for drug dealing in cyberspace”.</p>
