- Investigations into child pornography - searches
In the course of various investigations into child pornography, nine residences in Chemnitz, the district of Mittelsachsen, and the Erzgebirge district were searched. Authorities are investigating nine suspects aged 16 to 39 for possession or distribution of child pornographic material, as reported by Chemnitz police on Wednesday. No one was arrested.
During the searches on Tuesday, investigators found dozens of mobile phones and numerous storage devices in Chemnitz, Oederan, Freiberg, Frankenberg, Zschopau, and Schneeberg, among other items.
The investigation into child pornography uncovered potential links to other forms of crime, given the seized evidence. The distressing discovery of illicit material poses concerns about the protection of vulnerable individuals.
