Vittima della pedofilia - Foto: Noticieros Televisa
04/20/2006 Le Forze dell'ordine ieri hanno smantellato una vasta rete di pedofilia nella capitale. Oltre duecento i giovani, di etą compresa tra gli 8 e i 16 anni, hanno subito abusi: sono 18 le persone arrestate, 7 sono rumeni, gli altri italiani. I ragazzi venivano adescati ai semafori della capitale o nelle piazze di Roma dove giovani adolescenti si prostituiscono, ma soprattutto nel campo nomadi di Tor Fiscale sulla Via Appia. "La pedofilia non č che una delle forme pił evidenti con le quali la societą odierna schiavizza il mondo infantile. L'operazione di Polizia che ha decapitato una rete di sfruttamento dei minori a scopo sessuale rivela uno spaccato di realtą che include una vasta rete di connivenze criminali che vanno dal traffico dei bambini alla compravendita dei loro corpi, a volte da madri-bambine ancora incinte" - ha dichiarato Raffaele Salinari, Presidente di Terre des Hommes. Solo in Europa, i proventi legati allo sfruttamento sessuale dei minori vengono stimati ad oltre tre miliardi di euro ed il fenomeno č in crescita.
