52-year-old arrested for child pornography

The Genoa Postal Police, as part of the activities to prevent and combat crimes relating to violence against minors, arrested an unemployed 52-year-old Italian citizen for detention of large quantities of material produced through the sexual children even at an early age.

The Operators of the Postal Police during the local and computer search found thousands of child pornography videos, some of them with sexual violence.

The arrested person, already convicted in the past for sexual violence against minors, was registered in the Registry of Italians abroad because he was resident in York in the United Kingdom, even though he had in fact been expelled from that country in 2016, after serving three months in prison for detention of child pornography videos and images.

The man, after providing false declarations at the border, had never registered in Italy and had returned to live in Genoa.

The arrested person in addition to holding thousands of media files including images and videos (more than 3000 ascertained), was also active in many chats and on various instant messaging applications, including encrypted ones (telegram, whatsapp, tam tam) where he constantly sought the exchange of child pornography images.
