European police make raids for Internet pedophilia

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

For the second time in three months, police carried out a series of raids in six European countries as part of a coordinated investigation into Internet paedophilia being carried out by the European police agency Europol.

Codenamed "Operation Icebreaker II," the raids took place on some 80 locations in France, Denmark, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands and Britain, and led to several arrests and the seizure of large numbers of computers.

"I am pleased to report this follow-up to the first operation. People involved in acts of sexual abuse that deprive children of their childhood must not remain anonymous behind their computer screens. They must not have the feeling they are safe," said Europol director Max-Peter Ratzel.

French police said that some 20 residences and companies corresponding to Internet addresses were targeted by police in Paris, Versailles, Rennes, Orleans, Bordeaux and Strasbourg.
