Interpol calls it "the largest firearms operation" it has ever coordinated. The operation mobilized fifteen Latin American countries.
The raid also resulted in the seizure of 203 tons of cocaine and other narcotic products valued at approximately $5.7 billion. Members of the Balkan Cartel, Brazil's powerful organized crime network Primeiro Comando da Capital and Mara Salvatrucha, a Salvadoran mafia operating in Central America and the United States, were arrested, all involved in arms trafficking.
