The total sentences handed down to those convicted from the operation amount to 307 years in prison.

In November 2024, the Australian government introduced legislation confirming that evidence obtained through the AN0M app was lawful, a move upheld by the High Court which dismissed legal challenges, stating the law only affected evidence admissibility without undermining judicial authority.

Legal challenges raised by two accused individuals claiming that evidence from the AN0M app was unlawfully used were rejected by the courts, including the High Court, South Australian Supreme Court, and Court of Appeal.

Over three years until 2021, approximately 1,700 AN0M devices were distributed to criminal suspects in Australia, leading to charges against 392 individuals.

Authorities seized more than 6.6 tonnes of drugs and $55.6 million in cash as part of the operation, which resulted in over 2,300 criminal offences including drug trafficking and money laundering.

Operation Ironside was an international law enforcement effort involving Australian Federal Police and the US FBI, targeting organized crime through the use of encrypted AN0M devices sent to suspects and monitored secretly over three years.

The operation led to the charging of 392 individuals, with the combined sentences totaling 307 years, highlighting the significant impact on organized crime.
