Net kiddie porn ring smashed
p2pnet.net News:- Police raids in 10 countries smashed a number of Internet child pornography networks, says the European Union police agency Europol.
Wiesbaden in the central German state of Hesse was the main focus, states a Reuters story here. Other countries involved in operation "Odysseus" were Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Spain, Sweden and Britain, it said, going on:
"Police seized computers, laptops, videos and other material containing images of child abuse and an unspecified number of suspects were being investigated"
Based in the Hague, Europol said in a statement that more than 40 locations were searched in simultaneous raids that, "exposed a complex and organized hierarchical structure that Internet networks of pedophiles and child molesters are using to protect themselves by hiding their identities and their atrocious activities," Europol said.
Earlier this month, German police detained about 50 suspects in a probe into a suspected child pornography ring that also involved five other European countries, adds Reuters.
