Surveys carried out over several years. More than 2,200 child criminals have been unmasked worldwide thanks to the “Ninja Turtle” operation, launched secretly on the internet by the Swiss police, she revealed on Tuesday, May 30.
In 2012, the Swiss police received information that a person residing in the canton of Aargau (Switzerland) was broadcasting “illegal pornographic material”, under the pseudonym “Ninja Turtle”, thanks to the GigaTribe platform. This allows data to be exchanged anonymously. An investigation led to the arrest of “Ninja Turtle”, a 62-year-old German convicted in 2015, the same year.
The Swiss police then had the idea of using his profile to unmask other child criminals. Arrests took place in Switzerland but also in Croatia, Brazil, France and Peru, according to the press release from the cantonal police of Aargau. Among the unmasked pedophiles, some were viewing child pornography, while others were responsible for child abuse.
