+Paedophile videos stun Italians
Italian police have discovered a massive international paedophile network selling violent child-pornography videos to clients in Italy, the US and Germany.
Eight Italians have been arrested and 490 warned that they are under investigation, in a scandal that has shocked and outraged the country. Police are reportedly trying to identify 5,000 people who are suspected of attempting to purchase the videos, some of which appear to contain images of children being tortured and murdered.
The tapes, which were made in Russia, have allegedly generated revenues of £410m for their makers.
The directors of two state-run television news programmes resigned yesterday after brief excerpts of the paedophile videos were broadcast on Wednesday to illustrate reports. The images were apparently taken from internet sites promoting the pornographic films, which cost anything from £270 to £4,000.
Gad Lerner, the respected director of the main RAI One news programme, interrupted his broadcast to apologise to viewers for the "ignoble" and "violent" images that had been shown only minutes earlier.
Mr Lerner and his RAI Tre counterpart, Nino Rizzo Nervo, admitted that they did not know what was going to be on the reports.
Italian investigators have identified three Russians who are suspected of being at the heart of the traffic in violent films, which are promoted over the internet and distributed on video cassettes, CDs and DVDs.
One of them, Dimitri Ivanov, has reportedly been in prison since September 1999, charged with violence against minors and the distribution of pornographic material. The other two, Dimitri Kuznetsov and Andrei Minaev, are said to have benefited from an amnesty passed by the Russian parliament.
The investigation began two years ago following a denunciation by a parish priest from the Sicilian town of Avola, who runs a helpline for abused children. He found evidence of the traffic on the internet.
Italian police identified the internet site that promoted the videos and intercepted 3,000 cassettes before they reached purchasers in Italy.

The investigators named the Russian firms involved in the trade as Tim-O-Seev Video and Flower 2. Many of the tapes were duplicated and delivered to buyers by police who posed as postmen. Those arrested include businessmen and public employees.
Exposure to the images has been a traumatic experience for police and magistrates. Alfredo Ormanni, the prosecutor in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, who is coordinating the inquiry, said they induced such a sense of desperation that he had been tempted to abandon his profession.
"For some time it has been possible to buy the sound files of rapes and every time that we discover one and report it to the police the screams of those children remain in my brain for days, and I blame myself for not being able to save them," said Father Fortunato Di Noto, whose denunciation began the investigation.
Investigators said they believed that the victims shown in the films were kidnapped from orphanages in Russia and the Middle East. Some are said to have been snatched from their parents during visits to the circus.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------British link to 'snuff' videos
Britain is a key link in the biggest ever international investigation into the production and supply of paedophile 'snuff' movies - in which children are murdered on film - an Observer investigation can reveal.
The key suspect in the inquiry, a Russian who was arrested last week in Moscow for distribution of thousands of sadistic child porn videos and pictures, was traced following the seizure of his products from British paedophiles.
Dmitri Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, a 30-year-old former car mechanic in Moscow, was identified after British Customs and police traced the origin of violent child porn videos found in the UK back to Russia.
Last week Italian police seized 3,000 of Kuznetsov's videos on their way to clients in Italy, sparking an international hunt for paedophiles who have bought his products. The Italian investigators say the material includes footage of children dying during abuse. Prosecutors in Naples are considering charging those who have bought the videos with complicity in murder. They say some may have specifically requested films of killings.
British authorities yesterday confirmed that scores of Kuznetsov's videos, produced in his small flat in Moscow's rundown Vykhino district, have been found in the UK. They are concerned that 'snuff' movies in which children are killed may have also been imported.
Around a dozen British men have already been arrested and charged with offences alleged to be connected to the Russian tapes. A second Russian child porn ring, which allegedly had a British distributor, was broken up earlier this year. The investigation into the importing of violent Russian child porn which led to the identification and subsequent imprisonment of Kuznetsov started about 15 months ago after Customs seized material coming into the country. Since then there have been dozens of other finds.
'We have seen some very, very nasty stuff involving sadistic abuse of very young children, but actual deaths on film takes it a whole step further. That is very worrying,' said one senior customs officer this weekend.
British paedophiles were paying between £50 and £100 for Kuznetsov's tapes, the officer said. Further fees were paid for access to a website that features pictures of extremely violent abuse.
Though two men arrested with Kuznetsov have also been imprisoned by Moscow authorities, only one of the three remains behind bars. Dmitri Ivanov was sentenced to 11 years for actually participating in the abuse that was being filmed. The others were released under an amnesty aimed at clearing Russia's overcrowded prisons.

When officers from the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department raided Kuznetsov's flat they found two boys in a makeshift studio. They seized a huge quantity of films and other pornographic material as well as lists of clients in Italy, Germany, America and Britain.
Last week Italian detectives moved in, following months of inquiries, and arrested eight people. The police searched more than 600 homes and say they now have evidence against about 500 people. Among the suspects were businessmen, public employees and a university student. Several of them were married, with children of their own. Hundreds of people are also under investigation in Germany.
The Russian videos, which had been ordered over the internet, were intercepted when they came into Italy by post, repackaged and then delivered by undercover police officers. They cost between £300 and £4,000, depending on what type of film was ordered.
Covert film of young children naked or undressing was known as a 'SNIPE' video. The most appalling category was code-named 'Necros Pedo' in which children were raped and tortured until they died.
Police in Russia and the UK believe that Kuznetsov and his associates have been in business for more than two years in which time they are believed to have recruited around 100 boys - aged between nine and 15 - to be filmed.
'Most of the children were rounded up from railway stations. A lot of them came from the suburbs, or surrounding regions and were from deprived, problem families,' said Kiril Mazurin, a police spokesman.
'Usually when children like this arrive in the capital, they've got no idea where to go and hang around in the station. It's very easy to entice this kind of teenager - with a promise of a warm bed or a trip to the cinema.'
Many were lured away from orphanages. 'Children are not locked in,' said Mazurin. 'Anyone can come along and promise them a meal at McDonalds. It doesn't take any more than that."
Some children were paid a commission to find other boys willing to be filmed, according to reports in the Russian press, for a fee of between 100 and 300 roubles (£2.50 - £7).
Kuznetsov had given up his job in 1998 to devote himself to the lucrative pornography industry. A self-taught computer expert, he was in the process of upgrading his equipment to allow him to e-mail videos directly to clients when police raided him.
Many customers repeatedly ordered videos from him. The Naples newspaper Il Mattino published a transcript of an alleged email exchange between a prospective client and the Russian vendors.
'Promise me you're not ripping me off,' says the Italian.
'Relax, I can assure you this one really dies,' the Russian responds.
'The last time I paid and I didn't get what I wanted.'
'What do you want?'
'To see them die.'

** Interesting coincidence: this is the same Torre Annuziata prosecutor whose office in 2000 brought out information on a Russian-centered pedophile snuff ring, a scandal that was completely covered up – a fact that Ormani complained about. The office also showed up in the CIA-Cosa Nostra-Vatican-tied Roger D’Onofrio affair. Torre Annunziata is a small city with 45,000 inhabitants at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In essence it’s a suburb of Naples. ISGP suspects these scandals might be linked and part of what was described by Belgian officials as “la Nebuleuse”.

Savoy. This is also discussed in ISGP's Beyond the Dutroux Affair, going back to 2007.

- “In stark contrast to the lacking visual evidence, victim-witnesses not only have been testifying about violent abuse and -trafficking networks for a long time, they also mentioned very specific and similar details, including the torturing and killing of children, sometimes in front of cameras. These reports really got off the ground in the United States in 1987, followed a few years later by Great Britain. Since the Dutroux case exploded, we also know that similar testimonies have come from Belgium and surrounding countries. As we shall see, Russia followed
in 2000.
…
Other evidence of snuff movies had surfaced several weeks before the article above was published. In September 2000, the Italian media broke the story of a Russian child abuse network -centered in Murmansk and Moscow- which besides regular child pornography and hardcore SM, also shot snuff movies, selling them
for at least 4,000 pounds per video. The children were recruited through familiar tactics: they were lured away from the street or orphanages with empty promises, while a small number was kidnapped. Most clients, among them businessmen and government officials, came from Italy and Germany; others came from France, Britain, America and Japan. Several "large financial companies" were tied to the network, but names weren't given. [73: September 28, 2000, Aftonbladet

reports:
“Last week Italian police seized 3,000 of Kuznetsov's videos on their way to clients in Italy, sparking an international hunt for paedophiles who have bought his products.

But the center was located in Murmansk, in North Russia... At the same time it is revealed that several large financial companies are involved... The Russian bosses in the organization so far revealed are these three: Dmitri Kuznetsov, 31, was arrested in Moscow in February, but was released shortly thereafter after the Russian parliament passed an amnesty law to reduce the number of internees. Valeri Ivanov, the one who is now in prison and who, himself, appears in many recordings where he torments young children. Andrej Valeri Minaev, formerly of the Soviet military, is the official owner of a company that primarily distributes TV video cassettes. He was also released after the amnesty... More than 1700 persons are suspected of having bought child pornography over the Internet...Eight of the arrested yesterday are Italians, but one is a Russian citizen. Of the Italians, one is a civil servant within the health care

A five-year-old girl with a grimace of pain as she is raped. An adult is killed by gradual crushing. The worst images are labeled 'necros pedo' and showed children being killed during abuse. Such cassettes sold for (US) $20,000. The arrested persons had specifically asked for assurances that the children actually were killed and that it was not simulated by trick photography... The
scandal dominated the magazines and broadcasts on Thursday, after broadcasts with child pornographic pictures had been shown on TV during prime time. The opposition immediately demanded that the manager (Mr. Rais) of the state-owned TV company be dismissed. The matter was discussed in the chamber of deputies. " What has happened is absolutely unforgivable," said the leader of the opposition and the media boss Silvio Berlusconi, whose TV station chose not to show the images, according to Reuters. The newspaper La Republica devoted three pages to
the operation, which has international branches. In an editorial, the competitor Corriere della Serra wrote that the extent of the affair is horrifying. "We could never have imagined that thousands of wealthy, cultivated people in the midst of society are taking pleasure in watching small children being tortured and killed." The special division of the police in Neapel for Internet-related crimes said that about 600 homes were searched in morning raids on Wednesday. According to the police, the key persons are three Russians who have kidnapped children from orphanages, amusement parks and [city] parks. Thereafter, the children were filmed as they were subjected to severe sexual abuse." http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/0009/28/pedo.html ]
Featured Image text: Andrei Minaev, one of the three main suspects of having ran the Russian ring. By the time the affair hit the news, his two partners had already been released from prison due to a recently-launched amnesty program for inmates. The picture is an excerpt of one of the confiscated videos.Even though this news is hugely important, there have been only a handful of newspaper reports about this whole affair. In Italy, some of the most passionate reporters were quickly done away with after they had shown a number of abuse images in a late night television program. [76: October 1, 2000, Associated Press,
'Director Quits Over Child Porn': "The news director of Italian state television's primary station resigned Sunday, taking the blame for allowing graphic images of child pornography to air in a prime-time report. The broadcast, seen by more than 7 million people, stunned the country. In the ensuing uproar, RAI-TV came under attack from the Vatican, the Parliament, the president, the prime minister, politicians on both the left and the right, family and child advocates and a host other news organizations." There were no details on what was actually shown, but
it's hard to imagine actual uncensored snu ff or hard rape extracts were aired.] In contrast to the US media, which appears to have been completely silent on the subject [77: I have not been able to find any news reports while going through the archives of many hundreds of US newspapers, including the New York Times and Washington Post. At the very least, the Russian pedophile and snuff ring has been severely underreported in the US.], several British newspapers brie fly wrote about the affair. But even in Italy the whole matter vanished from the public eye within one or two weeks with no follow up reports having been published since. So as usual, those who want answers are left with numerous questions: Have the hundreds of suspects against whom evidence was found been prosecuted? What happened to the thousands of others who were still under investigation? Was this network tied to other networks? What happened to the videos? Can snuff movies still be considered a myth?

** Interesting coincidence: this is the same Torre Annuziata prosecutor whose office in 2000 brought out information on a Russian-centered pedophile snuff ring, a scandal that was completely covered up – a fact that Ormani complained about. The office also showed up in the CIA-Cosa Nostra-Vatican-tied Roger D’Onofrio affair. Torre Annunziata is a small city with 45,000 inhabitants at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In essence it’s a suburb of Naples. ISGP suspects these scandals might be linked and part of what was described by Belgian officials as
“la Nebuleuse”.

- “Is there such a thing as a new P2? That's hard to say. While the threat of WestEuropean countries siding with Russia largely faded away, at least as long as natural resources are available, there's always a chance that countries turn "overly" socialist or communist and have to be corrected. More important maybe, these networks have always been criminal and it is more than likely that these associations remained. And the CIA would also most likely continue the association to run all kinds of operations through.
In case of Italy, as late as 1996 Licio Gelli's name came up in a new scandal described as "Death, drugs and diamonds in tale of global conspiracy." The facts that were being uncovered sounded a lot like a continuation of the P2 and P7
network and maybe even more so of the closely related "Nebuleuse" network, which has been described in detail by ISGP. The investigation even led to the mysterious suicide of a SISMI colonel:
“Last July a colonel in Italy's military intelligence service, Mario Ferraro, was found hanged from a bath rail by his dressing gown cord. … Ferraro, it turns out, was working to unravel a massive global traffic in arms, drugs, radioactive materials and gems. … Among international figures wanted for questioning [is] Licio Gelli, the Grandmaster of the illegal Italian Masonic Lodge, P2. … this motley crew is named in connection with trafficking everything from Kalashnikovs to plutonium, and recycling the profits through some surprising channels including … the

The magistrate in charge of the inquiry team, Alfredo Ormanni**, believes they have reached a crucial stage by uncovering the core mechanism at the heart of the operation, code-named "Cheque to cheque" by Italian police.” [13: June 3, 1996, The Independent, 'Death, drugs and diamonds in tale of global conspiracy']
It seems like a scoop of epic proportions, but not a whole lot of important additional information could be found about the affair. It reminds one of a scandal in 2000 in which it was reported that a Russian-centered pedophile ring was exporting the most horrendous snuff videos to wealthy Italian clients. As could be expected, leading politicians and businessmen immediately covered up the scandal by firing journalists willing to bring out the raw evidence. [14: *) Beyond Dutroux; *) October 1, 2000, Associated Press, 'Director Quits Over Child Porn':
"The news director of Italian state television's primary station resigned Sunday, taking the blame for allowing graphic images of child pornography to air in a prime-time report.

The Russian media, in fact, never
even bothered to mention it.
Strangely, these seemingly separate scandals were both brought to the world by Torre Annunziata prosecutor Alfredo Ormanni [15: *) June 3, 1996, The
Independent, 'Death, drugs and diamonds in tale of global conspiracy': "Colonel Ferraro almost certainly died because he knew too much. The magistrate in charge of the inquiry team, Alfredo Ormanni, believes they have reached a crucial stage by uncovering the core mechanism at the heart of the operation, codenamed "Cheque to cheque" by Italian police." *) September 28, 2000, The Guardian, 'Paedophile videos stun Italians': "Exposure to the images has been a traumatic experience for police and magistrates. Alfredo Ormanni, the prosecutor in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, who is coordinating the inquiry, said they induced such a sense of desperation that he had been tempted to abandon his profession."], who certainly about the 2000 case was complaining of a cover up. The thing is, Torre Annunziata is a small city with 45,000 inhabitants at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. In essence it's a suburb of Naples. What are the chances that a
prosecutor from this small city stands at the basis of these two enormous leaks? One can't help but wonder to what extent these scandals are linked. And looking at ISGP's articles as Beyond the Dutroux Affair and especially La Nebuleuse, there's a very good chance that these scandals might well be tied together somehow. Then again, beginning in 2002 Ormanni ended up in legal trouble himself over allegedly questionable investigative practices, so who knows, maybe he was actually corrupt or crazy. But what about those seemingly very real snuff films? Excerpts were broadcasted on television.
This actually reminds me of something else. There's a possibility that Licio Gelli has been involved at a high level in the extremely unknown and very esoteric Memphis Misraim freemasonry rite, along with the very questionable House of Savoy. This is also discussed in ISGP's Beyond the Dutroux Affair, going back to 2007.
At the very least we can say that there are strong indications that a lot is going on behind the scenes in Italy which we know nothing about. And if Licio Gelli continues to be involved in these kind of behind-the-scenes criminal activities, then what does that say about old associates as Andreotti or Valori? As the following article makes clear, in 2009 it was Valori's turn to resurface in a new criminal investigation. Unfortunately, much less information leaked out compared to 1996 and 2000.”

Paedophile company murdered children in front of camera
"We cannot yet answer whether there are customers in SwedenROM. Two more involved in the paedophile spree were arrested in Italy on Thursday morning. As a result, the number of arrestees has risen to 11.But two of the real people involved - two Russians - are walking free after they could refer to an amnesty.At the same time, it is revealed that several large finance companies are involved.More than 1700 people are suspected of having bought child pornography over the internet. The pedophile tangle has ramifications all over the world. But the brain was in Murmansk, in the north of Russia.Whether the pedophile tangle has ramifications to Sweden is unknown. Anette Ahlenius at the Stockholm police, which investigates child on the Internet, told Aftonbladet's online edition:
We cannot yet answer whether there are customers in Sweden, we are investigating the matter and awaiting more information. One thing is for sure, if there are Swedish ramifications, we will find out.
The Russian bosses of the organization revealed are so far three. Two of them go free after demanding amnesty.
- Dimitri Kuznetsov, 31, was arrested in Moscow in February but released shortly thereafter after the Russian parlamnent introduced an amnesty law to reduce the number of inmates.
- Valeri Ivanov, the one who is now in prison andwho himself appears on many recordings in which he torments young children.
- Andrei Valeri Minaev, former Soviet military officer, official owner of a company with distribution of television cassettes as the main task. He, too, is released after the amnesty.
Torture scenes with young children
The vilest images are torture scenes with young children kidnapped from various orphanages. But also from circus performances or from parks where they played while the mothers for a moment looked the other way.
- The images are unbearable for normal people to look at. There are protracted rape sequences with children begging and begging to be let go. They are abused until they faint. Then they are murdered in front of the cameras.
- Yes, there are even scenes of pure autopsies of young people.
It was the police in Torre Annunziata, south of Naples, who led the reconnaissance in cooperation with the police in Moscow. 8 of those arrested yesterday are Italians while one is a Russian citizen. Of the Italians, an official of the medical service, is married without children.
Another is an entrepreneur and a third civil servant in Milan. Irreprocilable citizens whom no one could suspect.
The scandal completely dominated Thursday's newspapers and television broadcasts, this after broadcasts of child pornography images were broadcast on prime-time television.
The opposition immediately demanded the resignation of state broadcaster Rai's leadership, an issue that was brought up for debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday. "What has happened is absolutely inexcusable," said opposition leader and media magnate Silvio Berlusconi, whose television stations chose not to show the images, according to TT-Reuters. The newspaper La Repubblica devoted three pages to the tangle that has international ramifications.In an editorial, competitor Corriere della Serra wrote that the scale of the tangle is frightening."We could never have imagined that thousands of well-off people, in the midst of society and even cultured, find pleasure in seeing children tortured and killed." Naples Police's Special Unit for Internet-Related Crimes said about 600 homes were searched in dawn raids Wednesday. According to police, the key people are three Russians who kidnapped children from orphanages, amusement parks and parks. Subsequently, the children were filmed as they were subjected to aggravated sexual abuse.
Catalogue of paedophiles
In the paedophiles' "catalogue of goods" there were pictures of a girl in her 10s who had been killed naked by hanging. A five-year-old girl with a cry of pain across her face while being raped. An adult person killed by piling. The worst images went by the label "necros pedo" and showed children killed during the beating. Such cassettes conditioned 2000 dollars.The arrested persons had specifically asked for assurances that the children were indeed killed and that it was not a case of photomontage or trick photography. Italian police had put over 500 websites under control. It identified the senders and intercepted the material as it passed the Italian post. There it was copied, and then proceeded to the recipient. But then it was a policeman with a hidden camera who handed over the package.Police seized broadcasts including video and DVD films. The packages were resealed and delivered by police officers disguised as postmen, who also surreptitiously filmed the recipients. The price for the packages was stated to be between 3700 and 55000 SEK, a rising scale depending on the extent of the abuse.1700 people are on the list of the suspects while 490 have been notified that they will be prosecuted for crimes.

Nanni, 30, sits at the computer at night – chasing paedophiles

One of those who tracked pedophiles in the tangle in Italy is the law student Nanni Arena.Aftonbladet has met the hacker who became an expert and is now hired by prosecutors and police around Italy.
Nanni Arena is located in Catania, Sicily. Officially, he is a law student but he is 30 years old and still has nine degrees left before he can leave the university.His studies are going badly through the nights, navigating the police's mission on the internet and looking for new pedophile sites. Like the one he's recently been involved in tracking.
- It is wrong to think that the Italian part consists only of individual pedophiles who were customers of the Russians. More I can't say because much of the investigation is still classified," he said.
He is also one of the founders of the Catholic humanitarian organization Telefono Arcobaleno -Telefon Regnbågen. That organization receives children's depictions of abuse of them. It was when a rainbow employee presented his evidence to prosecutors in Torre Annunziata, south of Naples, that the investigation into this pedophile spree began just over 18 months ago.
"... this kid dies for real"
- We have found no ramifications to Sweden or Scandinavia this time. The customers of this Russian organization were mostly in Italy but also in France, Germany, the USA and Japan. And
then all of Eastern Europe," says Nanni Arena.Small snippets of the chat dialogue between buyers and sellers have been made public:
- Can you swear you are not deceiving me.
- Absolutely, I assure you that this kid he dies for real.
- But the last time when I paid, the item didn't match what I expected...
- What do you really want?
- That they really die, that you can see how they die...
- Rest assured - this one he's dying for sure...
The prosecutor of Torre Annunziata, Paolo Fortuna, says:
"It is so disgusting that one would rather quit this job. But then you think of all these little children who are tormented in this way.
"My worst shock is when I start recognizing children from one movie to the other. I see that they have grown older and that you continue to torment them.
- And I myself can't do anything to help them. I don't know where they are or who kidnapped
them," says Nanni Arena.
The children in question either come from Russian orphanages for orphans. The children are kidnapped, often with the caregivers' knowledge. Other children are caught up in parks or even during circus performances while their parents for some moment lose sight of them.

Paedophile videos stun Italians
Italian police have discovered a massive international paedophile network selling violent child pornography videos to clients in Italy, the US and Germany.
Eight Italians have been arrested and 490 warned that they are under investigation, in a scandal that has shocked and outraged the country. Police are reportedly trying to identify 5,000 people who are suspected of attempting to purchase the videos, some of which appear to contain images of children being tortured and murdered.
The tapes, which were made in Russia, have allegedly generated revenues of £410m for their makers.
The directors of two state-run television news programmes resigned yesterday after brief excerpts of the paedophile videos were broadcast on Wednesday to illustrate reports. The images were apparently taken from internet sites promoting the pornographic films, which cost anything from £270 to £4,000.
Gad Lerner, the respected director of the main RAI One news programme, interrupted his broadcast to apologise to viewers for the "ignoble" and "violent" images that had been shown only minutes earlier.
Mr Lerner and his RAI Tre counterpart, Nino Rizzo Nervo, admitted that they did not know what was going to be on the reports.
Italian investigators have identified three Russians who are suspected of being at the heart of the traffic in violent films, which are promoted over the internet and distributed on video cassettes, CDs and DVDs.
One of them, Dimitri Ivanov, has reportedly been in prison since September 1999, charged with violence against minors and the distribution of pornographic material. The other two, Dimitri Kuznetsov and Andrei Minaev, are said to have benefited from an amnesty passed by the Russian parliament.
The investigation began two years ago following a denunciation by a parish priest from the Sicilian town of Avola, who runs a helpline for abused children. He found evidence of the traffic on the internet.
Italian police identified the internet site that promoted the videos and intercepted 3,000 cassettes before they reached purchasers in Italy.
The investigators named the Russian firms involved in the trade as Tim-O-Seev Video and Flower 2. Many of the tapes were duplicated and delivered to buyers by police who posed as postmen. Those arrested include businessmen and public employees.
Exposure to the images has been a traumatic experience for police and magistrates. Alfredo Ormanni, the prosecutor in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, who is coordinating the inquiry, said they induced such a sense of desperation that he had been tempted to abandon his profession.
"For some time it has been possible to buy the sound files of rapes and every time that we discover one and report it to the police the screams of those children remain in my brain for days, and I blame myself for not being able to save them," said Father Fortunato Di Noto, whose denunciation began the investigation.
Investigators said they believed that the victims shown in the films were kidnapped from orphanages in Russia and the Middle East. Some are said to have been snatched from their parents during visits to the circus.
• September 29, 2000, Clarin, ‘A network of Russian and Italian pedophiles discovered on the Internet’;

An investigation initiated in Italy revealed a traffic of photos and videos showing the murder of boys The children were taken from Russian orphanages For these videos were paid up to $
17,000
The dark side of the Internet is a site where photos and videos of abused and murdered boys in front of the camera lens are sold at a high price and in dollars. It is called "necropedophilia" and is the last telematic frontier of the sexual perversions of those who surf the net.
This is revealed by an investigation by the Procuración de Torre Annunziata, Italy, which
discovered a gigantic pedophile network between Russia and Italy that trafficked in photos and assettes played by minors. Footage of sex, violence and death that paid up to $17,000. The headquarters of the organization was in Russia, but the branches of the business were scattered all over the world. For the investigation, 11 arrests were made. But, beyond the numbers, an atrocious issue that is still being investigated is revived: the homicide of minors.
"Tragic overturn"
Prosecutor Alfredo Ormanni is convinced that he is "facing a tragic turnaround in reality, with children raped, abused and murdered in front of the camera. It seemed implausible, but two years
of investigations lead us to this terrible situation.
"The investigation began in 1998, when a Russian site that disseminated pornographic images of boys was identified, with a tariff and a wide possibility of choice. Investigators contacted the Russians, viewed their catalog and went so far as to intercept thousands of customers and confiscate 600 cassettes and photos. They also discovered that among the netizens who acquired the materials were several minors.The head of the organization, and owner of the site, is Dimitri Victor Kuzentov, with whom Andrea Valeri Minaev, former Soviet military officer, owner of a video distribution company and responsible for the "sector under 5 to 12 years old", and Dimitri Valeri Ivanov worked. Requests for international arrest were filed against them on charges of prostitution of minors and production and marketing of paedopornographic materials. Its "industry," within two years, received payments of billions of dollars through an international fund transfer company. The names of the eight Italian members of the organization remain secret.
Regarding the investigation, Attorney General Ormanni is particularly severe: "Pedophilia is like the mafia and the underworld, but we are not yet prepared to fight it.
"In today's Russia, so fragile, so exposed to the instigations of wealth, children are more fragile and more exposed to the insidiousness of unscrupulous exploiters. If the rich West pays in dollars for its perverse pleasures, in transitional Russia, without laws or rules, pornography is produced for pedophiles, research sources said.
So it is not difficult to find material for pedophiles in this kind of paradise of contravention that are the Moscow electronics markets, at least according to Western patterns.
It is enough to approach the right person to find all kinds of video pornography. But the real traffic boom came from the hand of the Internet. And, while official statistics from the Russian Interior Ministry say that pedophilia is a declining phenomenon, Boris Altsciuler, chairman of the Commission for the Defense of Children's Rights, says that "these figures can be misleading. We are not at the level of Thailand, but we have thousands of reasons to worry. The inefficiency and corruption of the state apparatuses make it impossible to address the phenomenon closely. Adequate legislation is lacking. Meanwhile, minors do not perceive themselves as victims of criminality and, therefore, do not report," he explains.
Supply is also nourished, in many cases, by war. Scenes filmed in the middle of the guerrillas, revenge, death squads that look like stories, soldiers of some army that end up in some mass grave. But, although the poverty and political vacuum of the Eastern countries are a mine of resources, as the research that led to the discovery of the Russian-based organization shows, the business was basically fueled by the abduction and abuse of minors. In Russia there are four million abandoned children who should consider themselves lucky when they end up in a miserable orphanage and not on the street. The organization kidnapped them from these orphanages to use them as victims of sacrifices in front of the camera lens.
