Child pornography, man arrested in Ancona: over 500,000 files seized
The material was organised in a complex folder system. Numerous computers and smartphones were also seized. The subject used peer-to-peer technology to conceal the traces
At the end of an operation that lasted months, the Ancona Finance Police arrested a man for possession of child pornography. More than 500,000 files, including videos and images, were found in his possession.
The subject's position is aggravated by the large amount of material found, but also by the precautions taken by the suspect, who employed means to erase the traces of his online activity.
The material seized
The photos and videos confiscated by the police were divided and organised through a complex system of folders and subfolders. The digital catalogue containing child pornography found in the man's possession weighed over two Terabytes.
The seized content includes sexual scenes perpetrated against minors which, in some cases, according to the Guardia di Finanza, take on features resembling torture.
In addition to arresting the subject and seizing the files, numerous computers and smartphones were also confiscated. As part of the operation, a website and a channel of a well-known social platform were also shut down.
