Norwegian police help crack international pedophile ring
A computer program developed by the Norwegian police, NordicMule, was used in Europol's operation Icarus. The program was used to infiltrate and expose file-sharing networks that were swapping images of child abuse. Europol Director Rob Wainwright said at a press conference that it is the first time that Europol have tackled a particular phenomenon on the internet. He said filesharing networks and peer-to-peer services make it much easier for child sex abuse suspects to exchange large quantities of material on the internet. Of the 112 arrested, 19 were detained in Denmark and 13 in Norway. Operation Icarus is still ongoing and more arrests are expected. (NRK)
