São Paulo - The number of investigations of crimes on the Internet held by Federal Public Ministry (MPF) in São Paulo in 2008 tripled in comparison with the previous year. According to the prosecutor Sergio Suiama, a member of the Group to Combat Cyber Crime of the MPF, 1,975 cases were opened for investigation of suspected illegal, against the 620 cases opened during the year 2007.
In press conference given today (10), Safer Internet Day, Suiama said that the crimes of child pornography are the focus of most investigations. These crimes account for about 75% of cases cleared by the MPF. According to him, almost the entire rest of the crimes investigated by MPF is formed by the so-called crimes of hate: racism, prejudice and the other type.
Suiama said that the increase in cases of investigations is due to two main reasons: first, the greater ability of MPF to determine such illegalities, the second, the greater cooperation from companies to the research.
On the collaboration of companies in the industry, the company Google was mentioned as an example for Suiama. She, who maintains the web of relationships Orkut, accessed by 30 million Brazilians, signed a Statement of Adjustment of Conduct (TACs) for the MPF in July and has since committed itself to facilitate investigations and restrict the insertion of illegal content.
"Almost 90% of crimes happen on the Internet on Orkut," said Suiama. "The help of Google was very important for the investigations," acknowledged.
Ivo Correa, a representative of Google in Brazil, confirmed the company's intention to cooperate with the MPF and stressed that the number of confirmed suspicions of irregularities occurring at the site has been falling since the signing of the TAC.
