The news was revealed this morning by Italian Magistrates, who announced the arrest of two men - an accountant and a former teacher – who are to be charged with possession and dissemination of pedo-pornographic material.
Florence Magistrate Pietro Ferrante explained that searches in the homes of the two men yielded footage and photographs taken by them during “visits to Malta, Romania and Tunisia.”
According to the investigators, the two men travelled to Malta and lured vulnerable migrant children into performing lewd acts in exchange for mobile phones, top-up cards, shoes and clothes. The two men would then film and photograph the children and sell the images abroad through an internet site.
The material discovered was apparently sold to clients that have been identified in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, United Kingdom, Denmark, Austria, France, the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The two men ran an internet site that concluded 166 financial transactions.
One of the men had a previous conviction for enticing minors into prostitution, filming and possession of pedo-pornographic material.

It's a pity that burning at the stake cannot be re-introduced to dispose of creeps like these.
