Wiesbaden, Germany German police arrested three men on Monday on suspicion of operating one of the world’s largest child pornography internet platforms, following a series of raids across the country.
The men are accused of operating the platform as administrators on the so-called “darknet,” which is not visible to normal users and can only be accessed using special software and authorisations, the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) said.
The darknet platform, which has since been shut down, is thought to have had more than 400,000 members and was internationally oriented and included sharing images and video footage of the serious sexual abuse of young children.
“This investigative success has a clear message: those who prey on the weakest are not safe anywhere,” German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said in a statement. (dpa)
