MOSCOW (Sputnik) - At least 40 people, including 34 minors, were detained in Spain for distribution of child pornography through a social network, the National Police said on Monday.

"Agents of the National Police have detained 40 people for alleged distribution of child pornographic materials through a social network," the release said.

The investigation began when the US National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) reported about alleged commission of crimes of prostitution and corruption by minors. The social network itself reported to the NCMEC about posts concerning inappropriate audiovisual materials.
