Nordic police stage coordinated raids against suspected pedophiles Tuesday, May 25, 2004
 

(05-25) 11:06 PDT STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) --

Police in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland carried out coordinated raids Tuesday and charged more than 196 people suspected of obtaining and distributing child pornography.

Acting on shared information by the Nordic police forces, the raids began at 6 a.m. in all four countries, culminating a yearlong investigation.

Investigators targeted "people suspected of having taken possession of material documenting sexual abuse of children," Norwegian deputy police commissioner Siri Frigaard said from Oslo. "There has been good cooperation with police in the other Nordic countries."

Norway's National Criminal Investigation Service said it charged 153 people in the raids and that 105 of them acknowledged possessing child pornography.

More than 100 people suspected of buying and possessing child pornography were questioned in Sweden but not arrested. In Denmark, 43 people were charged and briefly detained after their homes were raided, police said.

Police in Finland said they were investigating 37 suspected cases.

"The police actions unfortunately show the vast interest for child pornography," said Mimi Jacobsen, secretary-general of Save the Children Denmark.

Swedish police said buyers were traced after they purchased child pornography online with credit cards.

"We carried out a nationwide operation, including searches in more than 100 places in Sweden, with the purpose of questioning the persons who are suspected of owning child pornography," Swedish police spokesman Per-Olof Forslund said, adding that more than 300 police conducted the raids.

"We made a great number of seizures of computers, CDs, videotapes and the like, but what the material contains we don't know yet," he said. "It will take quite some time to examine it all."

Denmark's National Police Computer Unit said the distribution of child pornography was done through the file-swapping network FastTrack, but there wasn't any immediate evidence that those arrested produced the child porn.

In March, police in Denmark arrested 101 people who had used credit cards to purchase child pornography after receiving a tip from U.S. Customs agents.
