24-year-old arrested over child pornography images

A 24-year-old was arrested on Tuesday for obtaining and possessing child pornography, police said after they were tipped off by Europol.

According to police, the suspect was found to be sending two archives with images of child pornography on a social media platform to another user.

Police then received a court-ordered warrant to search his home, where they found two mobile phones and a laptop that they seized as evidence and took for scientific evaluation.

The suspect was arrested and placed in custody for questioning.

The police’s electronic crime unit is continuing their investigations.

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.
