Police announcement:
The Cybercrime Investigation Directorate, in cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office at the Fier Court of First Instance, has successfully finalized the operation codenamed "Digital Traces", as part of the continuous work to prevent and crack down on criminal activities that harm minors in the digital space.
As part of the investigations conducted, it was possible to identify a citizen involved in the circulation of prohibited materials, and as a result, citizen IM, 24 years old, resident of Lushnja, was arrested, suspected of the criminal offense of "Pornography with minors".
During the search of the apartment, electronic devices were found and seized, in which pornographic materials involving minors were found.
Investigations continue to fully document the criminal activity and identify other persons involved.
The Cybercrime Investigation Directorate calls on citizens and especially young people: Immediately cease any form of storage, distribution or circulation of pornographic materials featuring minors.
This is a serious criminal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Storing or distributing, even without profit motive, constitutes a crime. Do not think that online actions are invisible, every click leaves a trace and every violator of the law will face justice.
For all minors who feel blackmailed, threatened or abused online:
Don't be silent! Speak up! Go immediately to the State Police structures.
We are here to protect you, support you, and punish the perpetrators who try to harm you. Silence protects the perpetrators, not the victims.
Operation "Digital Footprints" is another clear evidence of the State Police's commitment to creating a safe environment for children and protecting the future of society from crimes that take place in the digital world.
