The perpetrators showed bad pictures of children on the sites. They wanted to earn money this way. Often this was also fraud. Buyers paid with Digital Money. They did not get any goods. The police call this action Operation Alice.
Experts from Vienna helped find the perpetrators. They looked at the paths of the money online. The police now search for a 35 year old man from China. He should be the boss of the network.
