An international operation targeting child pornography, led by Spanish police and coordinated through the International Criminal Police Organization - Interpol, has resulted in the arrest of 20 individuals across 12 countries in the Americas and Europe, according to Interpol.

The probe was launched in late 2024 after Spanish authorities, during online patrols, discovered instant messaging groups being used to circulate child sexual exploitation material. Interpol announced the results of the operation on Friday.

As the investigation progressed, Spanish officers were able to identify the alleged perpetrators and alert law enforcement agencies in the relevant countries, Interpol said in a statement.

It reported that "follow-up sessions between authorities" were held to coordinate efforts, particularly with Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Paraguay.
