CNN has an article detailing a Spanish investigation that uncovered an international network of child pornography traders. From the article:
Spanish police have arrested 121 men and seized millions of computer files in the country's biggest operation against child pornography on the Internet.
Authorities are looking at 96 others but they have not been placed into custody yet, Manuel Vazquez, the national police chief of the technology investigative brigade, Wednesday.
Eight hundred police officers participated in the raids on more than 200 homes in most of Spain's provinces.
The operation was conducted in cooperation with federal police in Brazil, which uncovered a worldwide file-sharing network that was trading millions of files in 75 countries.
The men run a gamut of professions: commercial pilots, school janitors, taxi drivers and bank workers, he said. Four of them were under the age of 18.
They have been charged with distribution of pornographic material. If convicted, they can face up to eight years in prison.
