Vienna busts huge child porn ring BBC Austria has uncovered an international child pornography network involving
more than 2,360 suspects from 77 countries, the interior minister said.
The videos were posted on an internet site run by an Austrian company. No arrests have yet been made but Austrian authorities are sharing their information with investigators in other countries including the US and Germany. Austrian federal police said the case was "a strike against child
pornography unprecedented in Austrian criminal history". Mr Platter said the FBI was investigating some 600 suspects in the US. German authorities were following leads on at least 400 people, France was looking into about 100 more and Britain was investigating people. 'Screams heard' The investigation began in July after an Austrian internet provider noticed that eight unauthorised video files had been downloaded on to its server from London. Within 24 hours, investigators said they recorded more than 8,000 hits on the video and DVD material from more than 2,360 computer addresses in 77 countries. Harald Gremel, an Austrian police expert on internet crime who led the investigation, said the videos were made in eastern Europe and featured children of up to 14 years of age. "Girls could be seen being raped, and you could also hear screams" Mr Gremel said, adding that users paid $89 (68 euros, £45) to access the material. ---------------------------------------------------
