Rob Wainwright, head of Europol, the European Police Agency, said the abuse network had 70,000 members and links to 30 countries.
The operation has identified 670 suspects and 230 abused children.
Detectives say 170 people have so far been arrested - and 121 of them were in the UK. Some 60 children have been protected in the UK.

Excellent news!
Apparently the UK suspects include police officers, youth leaders and teachers with an age range of 17-82. I know I shouldn't be surprised to learn that but somehow I always am. It's doubly tragic when professional people who enjoy the trust of children are involved.
