Officials said on Thursday that international law enforcement agencies arrested many members of the Internet community who have prepared children who were offended and abused their treatment.
American internal security, Europe and the French police participated in the investigation. The process targeted many online communities that work as part of an online network called “Com” Press statement from Europol.
Two members of a group known as “CVLT”, a clear “worship”, were arrested in the United States on January 30. The two men, whose identity was not determined, participated in what the authorities described as “the exploitation of the new Nazi child Ren, which was prepared and then forced minors to produce sexual assault materials on children and images of self -harm.” Investigations were supported by the international authorities.
Another member of the group has been in French reservation since 2022, to exploit children and related crimes. Fourth, he is serving a 50 -year prison sentence in the United States for sexual assault crimes committed in 2020 and 2021. It is believed that three of the four men “acted as leaders and officials” for society online. These responsibilities included hosting and operating online servers and controlling membership of the group.
The authorities say that the leaders of the group targeted and dealt with weak minors, especially those with a history of sexual assault or mental health issues. The press statement said that the victims were encouraged to engage in increasingly inhumane acts “and the procedures were filmed. Then these videos were used to blackmail the victims and try to pressure them in suicide. Some of the victims who left the group have leaked videos.
Many other extremist and abusive groups that make up “com” track similar practices. The authorities say that these institutions operate in easily accessible spaces online, including social media platforms, mobile applications and gaming platforms online. It is claimed that children carry out violent or harmful activities for themselves or others, then use video evidence on procedures as a tool for extortion for more heinous activities.
“It is a vicious circle – predators in this network affect children or young people in conducting empty or experimental work increasingly, and this in turn makes them more likely to be exploited,” Europol said in a statement.
The authorities said that international cooperation was a key to identifying and arresting the leaders of these groups. Europol hosted a three -day operating meeting on “The Com” in January 2025, which linked dozens of intelligence and police officers.
