Man arrested for child pornography

A 20-year-old was remanded for four days by the Nicosia district court on Monday in connection to a case involving the possession and distribution of child pornography.

The 20-year-old was arrested on Sunday, after Europol notified police that the suspect, whose identity was later established by the cybercrime unit, had sent a number of pictures containing child pornographic content via the internet.

Police confiscated three mobile phones from the man’s home found during a search on Sunday.

The 20-year-old has reportedly admitted to the authorities of committing the offences he is charged with.

 

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.
