Counter Pedophilia Investigate Unit

Valencia, Spain, Feb 9 (EFE).- Spanish police have arrested 26 people and implicated 10 more in a new operation against the possession and distribution of child pornography on the Internet.

Rolled out in 18 provinces over four months, the operation managed to intercept thousands of kiddie-porn files and seize 10 computers, 78 hard drives, a memory pen and 673 CDs and DVDs with pedophilic content, police said.

Last May a citizen in the eastern town of Torrent told police about the existence of some files with child-pornography content on the Internet, and from that moment agents concentrated on locating people who could be sharing those files.

The agents found several users who were making available to other people an index with different names that made a “clear reference” to kiddie-porn content, and so were able to locate all the users across several Spanish provinces.
