WuShuo has learned that Europol announced a joint operation led by Norway, along with law enforcement agencies from Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland, targeting child sexual abuse crimes from late May to mid-June 2026. The operation resulted in the arrest of 28 suspects, the rescue of 3 children, and the seizure of over 460 items, including electronic devices, cryptocurrency wallets, drugs, and a large quantity of stimulants. Investigators believe the suspects used cryptocurrency to pay for access to dark web forums to download or view child sexual abuse material (CSAM). A cryptocurrency transaction tracking method developed by Norwegian law enforcement in 2025 helped identify individuals involved in these payments, leading to the identification of two sellers of CSAM. The operation is still ongoing, and more arrests are expected. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/europol-seven-countries-child-sex-abuse-crackdown-crypto-arrests-64254
