Argentina Raids Disrupt Encrypted Child-Exploitation Network Following Spain Probe

A Buenos Aires judge ordered preventive detention for three suspects pending trial, with forensic teams now examining seized devices.

Overview

  • Nine coordinated searches in the city and greater Buenos Aires seized phones, computers and storage media tied to child sexual abuse material.
  • Authorities traced the case to Operación Dori, a Spanish-led investigation that identified Signal groups trading illicit content across countries.
  • UFEDyCI, led by prosecutor Daniela Dupuy, coordinated with City and Provincial police and the Judicial Investigations Corps to carry out the raids.
  • Judge Bárbara Moramarco Terrarosa granted the prosecutor’s request for preventive detention, citing strong evidence and risks of obstruction or flight.
  • Preliminary checks found large volumes of images and videos involving very young children, with active Signal groups including “Hots niñes,” “bebes” and “madreehijoactivo2.”
