Man Arrested in Bilbao for Possession of Child Pornography
Investigation reveals significant quantities of illicit material involving minors
The Civil Guard in Bilbao has arrested a man on charges of corruption of minors related to child pornography following the discovery of disturbing audiovisual content in his residence.
The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation that commenced in October 2023, initially targeting a criminal organization involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
The operation resulted in the seizure of data from a laptop belonging to one of the criminals apprehended in Bizkaia, Cantabria, and Segovia.
During the examination of the seized evidence, authorities identified 24 video files containing child pornography, prompting the opening of a separate judicial inquiry.
A subsequent search was conducted at the suspect’s home to locate additional electronic devices.
This led to the recovery of 25 images and 467 videos featuring minors, including infants.
The investigation revealed that these files had been provided by another user who operated temporary channels for distributing such material.
Furthermore, it was determined that the suspect had consumed similar content from various foreign platforms, leading to requests for national telecommunications providers to block the URLs linked to these sources.
This case underscores ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat the distribution of child exploitation material in Spain.
