Australian Federal Police Deny 'Screwing Up' Child Porn Probe

Via The Sydney Morning Herald.

Australian Federal Police deny they "screwed up" by releasing details of a global investigation into child pornography before it was completed.

However Queensland police say they "don't know" why the AFP revealed details of the operation yesterday, while investigations are continuing.

More than 90 men across Australia, including 42 Queenslanders, have been arrested and hundreds more remain under suspicion as part of the six-month Operation Centurion.

News Ltd today quoted senior Queensland police sources as saying the AFP effectively tipped off nearly half the suspects and compromised the six-month investigation by telling the media about the probe.

"They're expecting accolades but they've screwed up," a police source told News Ltd.
