Police arrest leader of 'Ghost' network as part of major raids.

The Australian Federal Police has launched a series of raids in homes across four different states, with the possibility of more operations taking place overseas. This massive operation was carried out in order to dismantle a major criminal network that has been causing havoc in the country.

According to the AFP, their officers are currently engaged in a significant operation in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia. The main target of this operation is an encrypted phone network known as "Ghost," which has been used by members of the underworld to communicate in secret.

These raids were the result of an ongoing investigation into the Ghost network, which has been linked to a 32-year-old man from Sydney. He was arrested at his parent's home yesterday and is believed to be the mastermind behind this illicit network.

The AFP has named this operation "Kraken" and has stated that its main goal is to target organized criminals who have been using Ghost to import drugs and plan other serious crimes both in Australia and around the world. Senior police officials are expected to address the media in Sydney this morning to provide more details about this operation.

The AFP has also reassured the public that there is currently no threat to their safety. The accused mastermind of Ghost was only 23 years old when he launched this network, and he has been actively building and improving its encrypted features to prevent any interception from authorities, according to reports from The Sydney Morning Herald.

The newspaper also revealed that the Ghost network is a step above regular encrypted platforms like WhatsApp and Signal, with its own dedicated devices known as "DECDs." These devices were sold for approximately $2350 and were only available to users who passed a strict vetting process.

It is estimated that there are currently over 600 active Ghost phones worldwide, with around 400 of them being used in Australia. The AFP is also investigating the use of Ghost phones in other countries such as Italy, Sweden, Ireland, and Canada.
