PF searches RN after Spanish investigation into online child abuse

The court order was issued by the 14th Federal Court in Rio Grande do Norte. The action had the support of the State Military Police Special Operations Battalion (BOPE).

The investigation began following a request for international police cooperation sent by the Ameripol Cybercrime Specialized Center (AC3), in the context of an operation conducted by the Spanish National Police.

The international work investigates the distribution of this type of material through a messaging application, with the participation of people from different countries, including Brazil.

The Federal Police advises parents and guardians to monitor the activities of children and adolescents in virtual and physical environments. The institution also reinforces the importance of raising awareness about the risks of sexual abuse and exploitation and adopting prevention measures.
