Police have dismantled a global child pornography network that produced 'tailor-made' videos for about 2,500 customers in 19 countries, European officials said on Monday.

Police seized thousands of computers, videos and photographs in a coordinated investigation, dubbed "Operation Koala", that was launched after the arrest of an Italian national running a Web site selling videos of underage girls.

They said the videos were mainly produced in Ukraine and included a father sexually abusing his daughters aged nine and 11. Police have identified 23 children aged between nine and 16 who were abused by the network.
