"Murder attempts, corruption and drug trafficking", Reuters: How 115

European police agency Europol said on Tuesday that the takedown of Encrochat, a secretive company that provided criminals with supposedly secure encrypted communications, led to more than 6,500 arrests and 900 million euros ($980 million) in seized assets.

The system had about 60,000 users when it was shut down suddenly in June 2020, and Europol revealed the following month that law enforcement officials had been intercepting users' communications for months.

In a statement on Tuesday, Europol offered its first summary of the results, which it said had " sent shockwaves through organized crime groups in Europe and beyond ".

Police have analyzed more than 115 million "criminal conversations", Europol said, helping to prevent "violent attacks, attempted murders, corruption and large-scale drug trafficking".

The agency said the investigations launched by the Encrochat crash have so far led to the seizure of 100 tons of cocaine, 30 million "chemical drug" pills, nearly a thousand vehicles, hundreds of properties and dozens of boats and planes.

The police statement did not provide details on whether the owners of Encrochat themselves had been arrested. French and Dutch authorities will hold a press conference in Lille on Tuesday.

Partial results of investigations related to Encrochat were previously announced by French, Dutch and British police in 2020 and by German police in 2021.

Encrochat sold modified Android mobile devices for around 1,000 euros each and charged users hefty subscription fees with the promise that their communications would remain encrypted and secret.

It was abruptly shut down in June 2020 after its unnamed operators apparently realized they had been compromised.

Europol said the company had routed encrypted communications through servers in France.
"Finally, it was possible to deploy a technical device to go beyond the encryption technique and gain access to users' correspondence," Europol said on Tuesday.
