Alia2 Report provides a basis for asking the regulation of the undercover agent in the Senate

Partido Popular parliamentary group has won approval in the Senate calling for the regulation of the figure of an undercover agent on the Internet.

Alia2 Foundation joined the request of the Ombudsman for Children in the Community of  Madrid, Arturo Canalda to request to enter this figure on the Internet, already existing in the United States.

In the petition, the PP senator, Rosa Vindel, relied on data extracted from Alia2 Report on the Situation of Child Pornography on the Internet to justify the need for this new regulation. According to the Partido Popular's deputy spokesman said, the undercover agent will be an official of the Security Forces of the State whose mission is to infiltrate the network to combat online child abuse.

According Vindel, “the undercover officer to prosecute these crimes is essential, because criminals take all sorts of precautions and work in closed groups, which have access only people who have previously demonstrated their inclinations” and yet, as there is no legal provision for it, “the police and civil guards who fight against child pornography on the net lack of a powerful tool for combat”.

Alia2 Foundation celebrates approval of this motion considering that the figure of an undercover agent is very effective in combating the spread of pedophilia and our children will be better protected in this way on the Web.
