US EditionPakistan Busts German-Led Global Child Abuse Ring
- On May 23, Pakistan's specialized cyber crime unit carried out a significant raid in Muzaffargarh, dismantling an international child exploitation network led by a German national that targeted children between six and ten years old.
- The operation was based on intelligence provided by Interpol and a U.S. Organization dedicated to combating child exploitation, which uncovered a coordinated network using a front labeled as a children's club along with professional-grade recording equipment to carry out abuse.
- Authorities rescued at least six children and identified over 50 victims, recovered hundreds of videos sold daily on the dark web for thousands of dollars, some shared via encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.
- Two suspects were arrested during the raid while three remain at large, and some victims' parents were complicit, either knowingly or for payment, in facilitating the abuse.
- Following the bust, the government increased punishments for child exploitation to 14–20 years imprisonment, classified the offences as non-bailable, and pledged closer international cooperation and expanded NCCIA resources.
