PalmaThe National Police has arrested a man in Palma as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of child corruption, for possessing more than 2,500 files of audiovisual material on child pornography. As reported, the Central Unit for Cybercrime, Group II for Child Protection of the General Commissariat of Judicial Police of Madrid, requested collaboration from the Group for Economic Crime and Technological Crimes of the National Police, as a result of an investigation against the possession and distribution of child sexual exploitation material via the Internet.

Through cyberpatrolling online, the agents discovered that a 'Peer to Peer' file exchange was taking place, through which users around the world share practically any type of file among themselves. After analyzing all the collected information, the National Police attributed to the detainee the alleged authorship of uploading files of a pederast nature. Likewise, it was confirmed that he had made numerous downloads of this type of material over several months.

The investigation determined that the alleged perpetrator had more than 2,500 pedophile files, approximately 230 gigabytes. Agents from the Technological Crimes group recovered part of them after analyzing the seized devices, and this Wednesday the man was arrested as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of child corruption. In addition, devices and memory files were seized to request their download and analysis.
