A 25-year-old man has been identified and arrested on strong suspicion of committing the crime of aggravated child pornography on Terceira Island in the Azores, the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) announced Tuesday in a statement.
Investigators reported that the investigation began last July, “following information received through an international cooperation mechanism.”
International authorities alerted the PJ that the suspect had shared pornographic files involving minors over the internet.
The arrest was made during a house search conducted in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira, during which “the suspect’s computer equipment was found, containing several photos and videos depicting minors under 14 years old in pornographic activities.”
The detainee will now be presented to the Judicial Authorities for the application of appropriate coercive measures.
