Police unveiled a network that operated ten different groups on Telegram, in which thousands of intimate images of hundreds of victims were distributed, including famous models and famous women. Tel Aviv's detective detectives arrested a total of five suspects, including two men whose court extended their detention until tomorrow, and three others who were sent for house arrest.
In recent months, there has been a covert investigation that has revealed that thousands of users were on ten telegrams that were distributing nude photos and videos of hundreds of victims, women and girls who were unknowingly or unknowingly distributed, some of whom are more or less recognized models, and there are also media women appearing on the show TV.
Police have succeeded in technological means to penetrate the Telegram network, despite being an anonymous network with security restrictions. Cyber researchers mapped the groups and traced the identity of the distributors, overcoming Telegram's network anonymity.
Yesterday, as it went beyond the visible stage of the investigation, police raided the homes of a number of suspects and suspects from the north and its center, arrested them for questioning, seized computers, and took phones, some of which had no explanation. The young man suspected to be in charge of the network denied any connection to the acts, but his arrest was extended 24 hours a day, as was the arrest of another suspect in collaboration with him, a 19-year-old boy from Kiryat Ata. Three other suspects involved in the photo distribution - a 24-year-old from Tel Aviv, a 26-year-old from Kiryat Bialik and a 44-year-old from Bat Yam, were arrested and released on restrictive terms, including house arrest.
Police said: "This important police activity joins a number of cybercrime enforcement actions, including detecting criminals who work without fear, blatantly infringing on women's privacy and fatally injuring their lives while being exposed to the eyes of thousands."
