A 26-year-old man from
Ghana has been arrested on charges of possessing child
pornography, police said Friday.
The man, who was detained in Cassino in Frosinone
province, has a valid residency permit.
A judge has certified the arrest and the man remains in
prison.
Police have searched his home and made clear that the
arrest was not linked to terrorism.
"This is not an arrest for terrorist offences but for
child pornography," said Frosinone Police Commissioner Filippo
Santarelli, denying various reports.
However investigations are continuing given that videos
showing scenes of decapitation by jihadists were found on the
suspect's phone.
