62 year old arrested for child porn

A 62-year-old man was placed under arrest on Thursday on suspicion of possessing and distributing child porn.

Police had received a tip from Europol, according to which a user on a social media platform had sent through his account, to another user account, a video file depicting sexual abuse of a minor.

Authorities were then able to gather additional evidence against the suspect, a resident of Limassol, securing a warrant for his arrest.

During the arrest, at the suspect’s home, police found in his possession a mobile phone, which they seized.

A computer was also confiscated.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
