An international operation coordinated by Europol led to the Malta Police arresting two men in connection with the online sexual exploitation of children.

“Operation Stream” saw the involvement of police from 35 countries around the world, including the Malta Police Force, where 1,400 suspects were identified globally, leading to the arrest of 79 of them, including 2 in Malta.

During this operation, the #maltapolice conducted a raid where electronic equipment and other devices related to the online sexual exploitation of children were seized, and the two men were arrested.

This international cooperation led to the shutdown of the “Kidflix” platform, one of the largest online platforms known for paedophilia, which contained more than 72,000 videos.
