Argentina arrests two men for distributing child sexual abuse material

Two men, aged 38 and 44, have been arrested in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area for the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material. The arrests followed investigations triggered by international alerts from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The operations were conducted by the Buenos Aires City Police's Special Technological Investigations Division in coordination with the Lomas de Zamora judicial department, under prosecutor Esteban Berriel.

In the first case, involving a 38-year-old suspect, authorities seized several electronic devices, including five cell phones, five pendrives, four hard drives, a tablet, a notebook, and three memory cards. The second operation targeted a 44-year-old suspect, resulting in the seizure of a large volume of digital storage media, including 41 hard drives, four cell phones, 15 pendrives, four micro SD cards, and 246 optical supports.
