That came as part of an international operation targeting child pornography on the dark web – Internet content that requires specific software, configurations or authorization to access that specializes in a pedophile audience,
She was linked to 47 images and 11 videos in which an unidentified woman and three girls, who have been identified, participated, said Kathimerini, as police seized six computer hard drives, two cameras and a tablet in a raid on her home.
