Police arrest 52-year-old in Attica over more than 3,900 child pornography files

The arrest

Police in Attica arrested a 52-year-old man on the morning of 30 October 2026. The arrest followed a preliminary investigation by the Juvenile Protection Subdivision of the Hellenic Police, which was probing possible offences against sexual freedom and dignity, specifically child pornography. The police statement describes him as a Greek national accused of child pornography. He was taken before the competent prosecutor.

What the search found

A search of his home turned up a digital folder containing more than 3,900 files of pornographic content, some of which showed minors, including children as young as 12. Officers also seized digital evidence and 3,555 euros in cash. Police said the volume of material pointed to the boldness of his conduct, and the findings were added to a case file opened against him for child pornography.

Open questions

The reports do not say whether the man was remanded in custody or released, or when the case will reach court. The file count and the cash amount are figures given in the police account of the search. Reports on the case were published on 3 November 2026, three days after the arrest.
