Brazil police have arrested 43 people in a large-scale operation against child pornography which involved four other countries.
According
to the Brazilian authorities, 112 search warrants were issued in the
sixth phase of the Federal Police's Childhood Light Operation, with the
participation of 579 law enforcement officers.
The warrants
were executed on Tuesday in 12 Brazilian states, including Sao Paulo,
Santa Catarina, Parana and Mato Grosso do Sul, Xinhua news agency
reported.
19 arrests, the largest number, were made in Sao Paulo,
the most populous state in Brazil, followed by Santa Catarina with
nine, and Parana with six.
Law enforcement agencies in the
United States, Colombia, Panama and Paraguay were also involved in the
operation and executed warrants in their territories.
According
to the police, the 43 people were arrested on accusations such as
production, possession and distribution of child pornography. Sentences
for each of those crimes can be up to eight years in prison.
Over
187,000 files were seized for analysis, which may lead to other phases
of the Childhood Light Operation. A total of 640 arrests have been made
since the first edition of the operation was launched in 2017.
