FAMAGUSTA GAZETTE – Authorities arrested a 30-year-old man Sunday in connection with a case of possession and dissemination of illegal child porn material, police said. The investigation, led by the Electronic Crime Sub-Directorate, began after receiving information from another European country indicating the suspect was a paid member of a dark web site offering illicit content.
The arrest took place shortly before 11 a.m. under a court warrant. During a search of the suspect’s residence, police seized two laptops, three mobile phones, a computer hard drive, and a USB storage device for forensic examination.
The suspect remains in custody as police continue to investigate allegations of acquiring, possessing, and distributing prohibited material.
