Australian police say that they successfully infiltrated “Ghost,” an encrypted global communications app allegedly developed for criminals, leading to dozens of arrests.

Jay Je Yoon Jung, 32, the suspected administrator of the app, appeared in a Sydney court on charges of supporting a criminal organization and profiting from crime. Jung did not enter pleas or apply for bail and will remain in custody until his next court appearance in November.

In recent days, Australian police have arrested 38 individuals in coordinated raids across four states. Law enforcement agencies in Canada, Sweden, Ireland, and Italy have also made arrests in connection with the case, according to Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Ian McCartney.
