Everything starts from the analysis of a cell phone of a person searched for similar facts. On the cellphone, the agents found chats, images and videos of child pornography, with the involvement of very young children as well.

After checks on the main social networks, the Florence postal police identified the people who, for various reasons, held or exchanged child pornography images and videos for which the searches were taken, effectively blocking the progressive spread of the participants in the group.

People who connected on the chat exchanged advice on how not to be discovered by the postal police, on where to find material and on how to delete the tracks.
