From A for Albania to U as USA: 38 countries lists the European Police Authority of Europol, which helped to uncover the "Kidflix" pedocrimal platform.The campaign went to the account of the Bavarian investigators of the State Criminal Police Office and the Cybercrime Bavaria Central Office in Bamberg. About the article: Why do children are not protected from misuse The investigators met with a new dimension of cruelty: the operators of Kidflix provided their paying customers more than 91,000 videos.On average, three videos were added an hour.To see: pictures of children, sometimes even babies who were victims of sexual violence. Investigator: "Extent that was not known until then" The page was switched off on March 10th.More than 1,400 suspects were identified, 100 of them in Germany.Vice-Landeskriminalamtuhr Guido Limmer is proud of the success of the investigation: "It is about a scope that you did not know until then is the biggest that has ever been in Europe. It was almost two million users worldwide who have accessed these gray content. Almost 200,000 were registered online on the day of access." There is a lot of effort behind the blow: eight investigators, three years of work and great technical know -how.Chief Prosecutor Thomas Goger from the Cybercrime Central Office in Bamberg emphasized that "all bikes interfered in the investigation". Motivation: protect children from further sexual violence There were a number of factors that made it possible for Kidflix: On the one hand, there is the interdisciplinary investigation team: police officers and IT forensics were working closely under the leadership of the Attorney General. But not only the professional competence was high, but also the motivation of the investigators, says Limmer: "From the investigators, many are fathers or mothers and have children. They tell me: 'Especially because I know how bad it is if children who actually need our love and our protection are abused and abused, sold and offered all over the world - if I work out of their situation, from their situationSave, that gives me a deep satisfaction. '" Good cooperation with crypto platforms and Europol The fact that Kidflix could be found in the vastness of the Darknet at all was a separate earnings, emphasizes Oberstorananwalter Goger: "We use the latest tools that we have partially developed. For example, Kidflix only landed on our radar because we have developed a search engine for the Darknet together with Dutch researchers." The investigators also benefited that the users paid for cryptocurrency.This has a virtual number that could lead to the identity of the owner.Crypto platforms in Dubai and other countries cooperated in the investigation.Cooperation with Europol also worked excellently.Because: The sexual abuse of children is a no-go worldwide, according to the investigators, even in authoritarian states. Criticism: IP addresses not stored in Germany According to the prosecutor Goger, the operators of the platform would have to be arrested and other perpetrators and victims found.18 children in Germany were brought out by the investigation from the surroundings of suspects. One thing is a thorn in the eye for the investigators: "I can now quite certainly predict that in many cases we will encounter information that may have leaded us to other perpetrators or perhaps. As a result, we will not lead us to this because we have no storage of IP addresses in Germany.
