Law enforcement officials in the U.S. and Europe have arrested 150 people and
seized more than $31 million US dollars in an international drug trafficking
investigation stemming from sales on the darknet.

The Justice Department says the arrests are connected to a 10-month
investigation between federal law enforcement officials in the U.S. and
Europol in Europe.

Prosecutors allege those charges are responsible for tens of thousands of
illegal sales in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia, Bulgaria, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

The Justice Department says investigators have seized over $31.6 million
dollars in cash and virtual currency and 45 guns.

Investigators also recovered a slew of illegal drugs, including counterfeit
medication and opioid pills, along with more than 152 kilograms of
amphetamine, 21 kilograms of cocaine and 32.5 kilograms of MDMA.
