*The [[Federal Intelligence Agency]] has declared that its campaign against the [[Red Family]] cartel is drawing to a close. As observed by Ethan Takahashi, crime correspondent for The [[Federal Times]]: "In terms of effective action, this has to be considered a great victory for the FIA. A series of coordinated strikes against the Red Family delivered a mortal blow, and the cartel's super-addictive narcotic was destroyed before it could be mass-produced. While kingpin [[Oberon Church]] remains at liberty, it is unlikely that he could ever rebuild his empire. Still, losing one of the most wanted criminals in the [[Federation]] must be frustrating for the agency." Internal investigations continue regarding [[Jan Sandoval]]'s death in custody. No conclusive evidence has been uncovered, but many believe that Sandoval could not be reached without the assistance of FIA personnel. "It is not unreasonable to assume that individuals within the FIA have been bought by Church," said Takahashi.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d44102c8545f44bf9023c71 GalNet: Red Family Operation Concludes]</ref>

*The [[Red Family]] cartel has suffered enormous losses following a series of strikes carried out by the [[Federal Intelligence Agency]]. Crime correspondent Ethan Takahashi summarised his report in The [[Federal Times]]: "In a coordinated operation spanning multiple systems, FIA troops raided hidden Red Family bases and manufacturing plants. Dozens of cartel members were killed in combat and thousands more arrested, while vast amounts of illegal substances were seized." The narcotics kingpin [[Oberon Church]] spent decades establishing his empire, but with such catastrophic losses it has been virtually dismantled. Members of [[Federal Congress]] have congratulated the FIA for 'removing this blight on Federal society'. Executive Agent [[Viola Trask]] suggested that "this success was only possible due to the detailed information volunteered by [[Jan Sandoval]], one of the Red Family's founders." It is widely assumed that Church's arrest will follow soon, effectively eliminating the cartel.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d30891db49763757a21d6f6 GalNet: Red Family Cartel Raids Successful]</ref>
