A convicted paedophile from Ireland has been arrested in connection with alleged sexual exploitation of children in the Far East.
According to RTÉ News, the man aged in his 50s was arrested on Wednesday as part of an investigation led by the Garda National Protective Services Bureau and the Garda Cyber Crime Unit.
It is understood the man who has previous convictions for crimes against children abroad was questioned at a Dublin Garda Station.
Gardaí say say the man was arrested on suspicion of committing offences under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998, but he was later released from custody.
A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
