Spanish police arrest seven in internet child porn raids

Spanish police have arrested seven people suspected of exchanging child pornography over the internet, the Interior Ministry said today.

Ten homes were also searched as part of the probe triggered by a tip-off from Interpol officers based in Wiesbaden, Germany, it said.

The suspects were arrested this month in a number of Spanish cities and include a student, an engineer and computer experts.

The men allegedly exchanged a video in which a nine-year-old boy was seen being sexually abused by an adult, the ministry said.
