Austrian police smash huge child porn ring

Austrian police said on Friday they have smashed a vast Internet child porn ring involving nearly 1,000 people, some of them teachers.

With the help of their European colleagues, Austrian police were able to identify 935 suspects, of whom 189 were proved to have exchanged pornographic material involving minors, they said in a statement.

Investigations against a further 97 were still underway.

Among the suspects were a number of teachers. And some were already known to police.

In raids of the suspects' houses, police had also found other illicit material, drugs and illegal weapons.

Investigators had been able to identify 16 of the children in the films and photographs. They were aged between nine and 12 and came from the United States and Paraguay, police said. (AFP)
