Austria Acts on ICE Leads in Child Porn Probe

Acting on information provided by ICE, Austrian authorities last week executed search warrants at 120 locations associated with 96 child pornography suspects in Austria.

The Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), in conjunction with local police agencies across the country, were acting on leads provided by ICE’s Attaché in Vienna, Austria, as part of a massive investigation under ICE’s Operation Predator. Operation Predator aims to safeguard children from foreign national pedophiles, human traffickers, international sex tourists, and individuals who trade in child pornography.

ICE has arrested more than 5,800 individuals since the program began on July 9, 2003. In addition, foreign law enforcement, acting on information from ICE, has arrested more than 1,000 individuals.

This action grew out of an ongoing ICE investigation of a company in Minsk, Belarus. In January 2004, the company was charged with money laundering as well as providing billing services for 50 child porn websites worldwide and operating child porn websites. Three officers of the company were arrested and extradited to the United States. Two have pleaded guilty, as have four officers of two affiliated companies.
