A 31-year-old man was arrested in Matosinhos by the Judiciary Police (PJ), through the Northern Directorate, as the alleged perpetrator of child pornography crimes that occurred between April 2023 and August 2024 using computer platforms.
The PJ stated in a press release that “the investigation originated from a notification by international entities” and it was found that “the suspect accessed illegal content online involving sexual abuse and exploitation of minors.”
“During the course of house searches, several multimedia files of this nature were seized, and the suspect was caught in the act for possession and sharing of these illicit contents,” the statement read.
The suspect, who has no criminal record, will appear this Wednesday for a preliminary judicial interrogation to determine the application of coercive measures.
