THE PICTURE▸

Uganda took part in INTERPOL's Operation Red Card 2.0 (Dec 2025–Jan 2026), which targeted high-yield investment scams, mobile-money fraud and fraudulent loan apps in 16 African countries (INTERPOL, Feb 2026). INTERPOL did not publish Uganda-specific results. Uganda is not a party to the Budapest Convention (Wikipedia, 2026). Online fraud is prosecuted under the Computer Misuse Act 2011. We did not find an official by-type breakdown or a well-documented court case in this research pass.
