October 15, 2020 They have the appearance and an anonymous life.

They are workers, waiters and employees.

The oldest is 60 years old, the youngest 23. Yet pedophiles are hiding behind this facade who attract their victims to the most common accounts and share their deeds online.



In today's operation, the Postal Police of Rome, on a mandate from the Venice Public Prosecutor's Office, carried out arrests, searches and seizures of pornographic materials in 16 Italian provinces.



How to find them, where they work


Investigations are always very complex because pedophiles and those who exchange child pornography material know how not to leave traces.

In this case, the social kik chats have been sifted through.

Unlike Whatsapp, where the user can be identified by their mobile number, kik allows access from their smartphone, with a simple account.

Through conversations, the agents isolated the nicknames by extrapolating the IP connections and uncovering a network of pedophiles.

16 people

reported and

4 others arrested.



The kidnappings


Dozens of mobile phones, computers and files were

seized

which proved both possession and exchange of pornographic images.

During the searches, Telegram channels already known for the exchange of child pornography material were found and also connected to cases of revenge porn for which further investigations are underway.

Underlined the Minister of the Interior, Luciana Lamorgese.
