Police search at Cristian Tarragona’s home: latest on the investigation | OneFootball

In the last few hours, Prosecutor Ignacio Suasnabar requested the examination of the seized devices with a central focus on the cell phones. The investigation is part of an international process against human trafficking and possession of child sexual abuse material.

On November 13, the Investigations Police and the Human Trafficking Division raided Cristián Tarragona's house as part of an international investigation against human trafficking and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Almost a month after the procedure, the Prosecutor of the case, Ignacio Suasnabar, ordered the examination of the items seized at the footballer's home, where he lives with relatives who might be involved in the case.

At that time, in the house located in Alto Verde, the authorities seized 1 DVR, 1 Wifi Modem, 3 Tablets, 2 PlayStations, 2 Nintendo and Gamer consoles, 1 handheld console, 1 digital console, 2 USB drives, 4 SD cards, 1 cell phone, 3 iPhones, 1 iPad Tablet, 3 watches, Apple watch, 2 iPads.

According to reports, the central focus of the examinations will be on the cell phones, which could provide necessary and key information to “determine if there was circulation or storage of illegal content”, as well as “establish if it is appropriate to charge any of the people residing in the raided house”, they confided to Doble Amarilla.

It is important to note that the investigation is part of an international investigation called “Shield for Childhood”, aimed at investigating the possession and distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material through early alerts, IP address analysis, and agency cooperation to detect possible distribution networks.

After the raid, Unión and its president, Luis Spahn, supported Tarragona

Once the case was known, hours after the procedure began and after contacting the footballer, Unión supported the player with a statement emphasizing that no “restrictive measures or charges were made against the player or any member of his family.”

“The operation —which aimed to technically verify an electronic device (router)— was carried out normally. Both the player and his family showed full willingness and cooperation with the intervening authorities,” they added and emphasized: “From the institution, we highlight the responsible and transparent attitude of the footballer and also, according to the authorities present, both the way the procedure was carried out and its reasons, the situation does not pose a threat to the player.”

President Luis Spahn also spoke publicly after the event and supported the forward in “an unpleasant situation.” “I am continuously informed and spoke with members of the Prosecutor's Office and there is no need to worry,” he stated.

In another aspect, he made it clear that “we are following an international network, it is not Usina. It is a carelessness of opening a site that leads to an uncomfortable situation like this,” he indicated.

“Many times the router is used by neighboring families, people who come to any home. How many people go to an office and the first thing they ask for is a code to access wifi. You have to be careful because there are bad people who do these things,” he expressed further, before concluding that “we fully support Cristián and we are convinced of his innocence.”

“He is a good person, morally sound and this is an accident,” he stated before indicating: “We believe and are convinced that it will not be a compromising situation for Unión and him as a player.”
