INTERNATIONAL OPERATION AGAINST CHILD PORNOGRAPHY: Argentine police have arrested 12 people and seized a large amount of material as part of an international operation against the sexual exploitation of children, according to local authorities. The arrests were made in the Argentine capital and the province of Buenos Aires, where around 700 electronic storage devices were also seized.
According to the Public Ministry of Buenos Aires, these actions are part of the operation 'Allies for Childhood,' led by #Argentina and simultaneously implemented in the #UnitedStates, #Brazil, #Chile, #Ecuador, #Panama, #Paraguay, and #PuertoRico.
"Five people were arrested in Chile, one in Ecuador, and the results from the other involved countries are still awaited," the #Argentine capital's Public Ministry reported.
The investigation was made possible through the use of the investigation system provided by the American platform #Icaccops, used to track the trafficking of child sexual exploitation material on the #internet.
Members of the Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), a U.S. NGO dedicated to combating child trafficking and exploitation, founded by Tim Ballard, a former U.S. Homeland Security special agent portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the movie "Sound of Freedom" (2023), were present at the Public Ministry's monitoring center in Buenos Aires on Monday.
