He did not expect the policemen to visit his home in Olbia, he thought that the agents had arrived at the front door due to an error or an administrative task. Instead, a 65-year-old pensioner from Olbia, on Friday discovered within a few minutes, that he had ended up in a vast activity of the Sassari Postal Police, accuses: online child pornography. An investigation that is still ongoing but has already led to an important result. The specialized personnel of the State Police found about two thousand photographs of girls in the pensioner's devices. According to what was reported to the prosecutor of the Temple, Claudia Manconi, the images with explicit child pornography content would concern minors at a very tender age. The retiree was unable to give plausible explanations on the presence of the photos in his devices. The policemen who deal with digital crimes have arranged for the arrest of the man, who was transferred to prison within a few hours.
The movie
The position of the alleged pedophile was aggravated when the agents, examining the memory of his devices, found a video that would have been made, with a smartphone, inside the home of the pensioner. The images show a little girl in the shower stall. Investigators allegedly ascertained that the little girl was a guest of the retiree's family a few months ago. So, in this case, it is not a video downloaded from the net, but material that the alleged pedophile "produced" personally, involving a child who had been entrusted to him. The Postal Police have already verified that the video of the child has not been circulated on the network and has not been shown or, worse, sold to other people.
The interrogation
The alleged pedophile was questioned yesterday morning by the investigating judge of Tempio, Claudio Cozzella. The defenders, the criminal prosecutors Angelo and Jacopo Merlini, did not want to make any statements. During the validation hearing the man would have tried to provide explanations on the presence of the 2 thousand photos. The investigating judge validated the arrest and ordered the measure of house arrest.
