The 2007 international child pornography investigation was an international criminal investigation into a criminal organization dealing in child pornography.[1] Austrian authorities initiated the investigation in July and were the ones to uncover the criminal organization.[2] More than 2360 suspects residing in 77 countries were investigated.[3] Approximately 600 of the suspects were in the United States.[4] The European country with the most suspects was Germany.[5] 130 of the suspects were in Australia.[6] The two suspects in the Republic of Ireland were not investigated by Garda Síochána until six months after Austrian authorities notified them of the crime.[7] At least 23 suspects were Austrians.[8] The pornography depicted the sexual abuse of children under the age of 14.[9] A Russian website hosted the pornography on an Austrian server.[10]
