EncroChat was a messaging service that sold crypto phones and subscriptions.
It offered subscriptions with worldwide coverage at a cost of EUR 1,500 for a six-month period, with 24/7 support.
Unknown to its users, however, Dutch and French law enforcement infiltrated the platform and gained access to the groups using the service.
The agency’s investigation led to the seizure of over $900 million in illicit criminal proceeds.
Other services similar to EncroChat were soon dismantled as well, including Sky ECC, a commercial phone service that bundled encrypted chat services with international roaming.
Europol on Tuesday announced that the takedown of EncroChat had led to 6,558 arrests worldwide and the seizures of more than € 900 million in illegal proceeds.
