How to read this record
French commentary discusses INTERPOL Contender3.0 action announced September26 against African romance-fraud networks. Retain a reported disruption/network topic. Its postcolonial revenge framing is not proof of victim fault, actual offender motivation, victim count or new conviction.

Interpol Arrests Romance Scam Suspects in Africa
NamedContender3.0,260/14countries and Senegal22/120/19millionCFA accounts match the separate official INTERPOL release’s regional component. Programme-level association, not one criminal case or additive global/regional totals. Deeper dates/country lists do not silently fill short-source annotations; arrest is not guilt.
Cyberarnaques sentimentales et sextorsion: 260 arrestations en Afrique (Interpol) , H24info
Named Contender or 260 arrests across 14 African countries supports a qualified programme association against the preserved official release. Global and regional figures overlap; 81 disrupted networks are not 81 defendants or convictions. The GBP2billion report conflicts with the official USD2.8million claim and remains explicitly disputed. Preserve each short source’s omissions and attributed quantities. No additive incidence or guilt finding.
