Twenty-eight men have been arrested in a coordinated international operation targeting child sexual abuse. Sweden took part in the effort, which was supported by Europol.
The arrests took place in Sweden, Canada, Czechia, Germany, Norway, Poland and Switzerland. All suspects are men aged 22 to 54.
Investigators suspect the men used cryptocurrency to access darknet forums where videos of children being abused could be downloaded or viewed. More than 460 items, including electronic devices, crypto wallets, drugs and large quantities of doping substances, were seized.
The investigation is led by Norwegian police and further arrests are expected, according to Europol.
