The arrests have been made across the country

43 people have been arrested in several provinces across the country on the latest National Police swoop against child pornography. 95 searches have been carried out and a further 61 people are indicted in the case. More than 1.2 million archives have been impounded, taken from 21 computers, 142 hard discs, 264 DVDs and 9 memory cards.

The initial complaint was presented to the police in Cataluña, who were alerted to the existence of a P2P network being used after a user downloaded a video of two adults abusing two youngsters.

The operation took place in Madrid, Comunidad Valenciana, Andalucía, Aragón, Asturias, Cantabria, Navarra, País Vasco, Murcia, Galicia, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, La Rioja, Baleares, Extremadura and Canarias.
