Genoa, employee arrested for child pornography: company report.

Reporting and starting investigations

A new case of online child pornography has been uncovered in Genoa thanks to collaboration between a well-known company and law enforcement. Investigators from the Liguria Cyber ​​Security Operations Center (COSC) arrested a company employee after finding a large amount of illicit material on his digital devices.

The investigation stemmed from an internal tip-off: company officials had detected suspicious videos being viewed on a company computer and immediately alerted the relevant authorities.

Searches and seizures

COSC officers in Genoa conducted a targeted search of both the employee's workplace and his home.

The operation led to the seizure of numerous digital devices, including five hard drives, which were found to contain a significant amount of child pornography material.

File analysis: over 1.500 illegal contents

In the Operations Center laboratories, investigators have begun forensic analysis of the seized devices. Already during the preview phase, over 1.500 files, including images and videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit acts, have emerged.

This impressive amount confirms the seriousness of the employee's conduct and his potential involvement in online exchange or distribution networks, which are still being investigated by investigators.

The commitment of the Postal Police and the COSC

The case highlights the importance of the daily work of the Postal Police and Cybersecurity Service and the Territorial Operations Centers, which are the cornerstone of the fight against cybercrime, particularly online child pornography.

The operation also demonstrates how collaboration between companies and institutions can prove crucial in promptly identifying criminal activities of this type.

The appeal to citizens and businesses

The authorities reiterate their call for immediate reporting of suspicious behavior, both by private individuals and businesses. Any information can be crucial in launching investigations and stopping extremely serious practices targeting minors.
