Overview
- Carabinieri executed a GIP-ordered arrest of two suspects in Rome and Treviso on accusations including sexual violence against minors and child pornography.
- The inquiry began after a 16-year-old discovered intimate images and chats on her mother's computer, prompting the father to file a complaint.
- Seized phones, computers and tablets contain a very large volume of explicit images and videos of minors, with chats that investigators say suggest the aunt forced sexual attention on her young nephews.
- Forensic checks have identified Telegram contacts and foreign profiles under review for possible wider links, while investigators report no evidence the minors' images were disseminated online.
- Both suspects are in pretrial custody in separate facilities with interrogations pending, and parts of the case may be transferred to the competent Venice prosecutor.
