Two Dutch men arrested in Internet porn bust in Bulgaria

Police have arrested two Dutch men in Bulgaria for distributing pornography on the Internet, the interior ministry said Wednesday.

The men, aged 26 and 28, were arrested Tuesday in the Black Sea resort of Varna. Police also detained a 19-year-old Bulgarian girl, although details of her role were not given.

According to the ministry, the suspects were involved in shooting pornographic videos in a Varna hotel and distributing them on the Internet.

A search of two hotel rooms that had been converted into small film studios revealed a number of pay slips to girls who had been filmed by the men.

Police have already questioned seven hotel employees and they confirmed the gang’s criminal activities, the ministry said.

If found guilty of producing and distributing pornography, the two men could face up to one year in prison.
