THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Police from across Europe have arrested 92 suspects linked to an alleged network that produced and sold child abuse videos to 2,500 customers around the world, authorities said Monday.

The videos were sold to clients in 19 countries including teachers, doctors and lawyers, prosecutors said.

Authorities said at least 23 mainly Ukranian girls, ages 9 to 16, were duped into performing sex acts with promises of lucrative modeling careers.

The 15-month investigation was triggered by an Australian police discovery in July 2006 of a video depicting a Belgian father raping his daughters, aged 9 and 11, said Menno Hagemeijer of the pan-European police organization Europol.

As of Monday morning, 92 suspects had been arrested, most of them in coordinated raids last month, and nine remained in custody.

The alleged mastermind, Italian Sergio Marzola, and the Belgian suspected of abusing his children, were arrested last year.

Michael Kennedy, president of Eurojust, said the ongoing investigation was likely to lead to more arrests.

Marzola, 42, allegedly made some 150 videos in Ukraine, the Netherlands and Belgium. He was arrested last year in Italy a day before he was due to move permanently to Ukraine, where prosecutors say he ran a studio for producing the abuse films.

Police say he sold the videos online. Customers mainly paid via the Internet and were sent links and passwords allowing them to download the films, said Hagemeijer.
