Spain’s civil guard have today arrested 19 people from several towns in Spain as part of an international operation led by Spanish police against an international ring of paedophiles distributing child pornography over the Internet. Over 500 arrests are expected during the next few hours in 12 countries in Europe and Latin America.
Spanish police started investigating the case in January of this year after somebody in Pontevedra, Galicia, reported the existence of an Internet chat site offering access to agressive and pornographic photos of young children. Police started monitoring the site to try and discover who was publishing the material.
After just 15 days they had identified more than 900 conexion points from all over the world. Since then, and with the help of Eurojust and IbeRed, police have seized over 20.000 pieces of paedophile material including videos, photos and MP3 files.
The Spanish civil guard organised meetings with judges and police from the countries involved in the case, and today police are simultaneously searching homes in Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Holand, Chile, Argentina, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Uruguay.
In Spain people have been arrested in Madrid, Alicante, Valencia, Salamanca, Zamora, Burgos, Vizcaya, Lleida, Barcelona, Asturias, Tenerife, Mallorca y Pontevedra.
The Spanish Interior Minister, José Antonio Alonso confirmed the operation to reporters this morning and said that paedophilia was a disgrace that was intolerable in any democratic society.

Yes, it is fraud. The Spanish lottery never sends postal announcement.
Attn.: To the Higher Police Officers, Madrid, Spain.
Respected Sirs,
I have received a letter from M/s. Royal Coasta Security (C/Santiago BueNo.123-5, Madrid Urbano Central, 28003 Madrid, Spain, Tel,: 034-606-842-994, Contact: Mr. Wine Stone) informing me that I got a lottery (ref. DDL/4506/MDS) for some certain amount and the full sum has been logged in “BANCO CAJA MADRID”, Po De pareda No 9-12, 39004, Sandander, Espana, Tel.: 034-651-413-651, contact Mr. Elliote Maggie).
Then another fax received from BANCO CAJA requesting me to send 0.32% handling/transferring charge to transfer the fund to my account (it is 1201.92 Euro). Since their continuous pressure, I have already remitted the money.
Then they informed me that they have contacted «Ministry of Finance» for obtaining approval. Today morning Mr. Elliote Maggie told me (over phone) that the “Ministry” has requested to charge some percentage as a «TAX» and the money can only be transferred if I remitted the «TAX» immediately. When I asked him to take the money from the fund, he told me that he cannot take any single penny from the fund since the fund has been completely Insured.
Therefore, I would like to request you to investigate the subject to ensure these activities are not fraud/cheat and, if it is cheat, please arrange to get back my money (the bank charge) as soon as possible.
Your kind action in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Muneer Ahmed
