Police in Europe crack down on child porn

Police have conducted raids in six European countries and detained up to 30 people to crack a child pornography ring that shared abusive images over the Internet, officials said Wednesday.

Rome's Carabinieri paramilitary police, who led the operation, said about 80 people had been placed under investigation and computers, DVDs, CD-ROMs, video tapes and memory cards for digital cameras were seized in raids in Italy, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and Britain.

The suspects had created a secure network that allowed them to use the Internet to anonymously share pornographic images of children aged 11 and under, the Carabinieri said in a statement.
