😱 how did it take so long to catch them?

I reckon, the offences are older than some of his victims

They were busy hunting down climate change activists and people reporting too much against the government probably.

I feel so sorry for those victims AND the officers who had to review the material and identify the victims

A huge thank you to the cops and specialists involved.
