The media reported on the deliberate concealment of information about pedophiles by the mayor of London

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, knew about the activity of pedophile gangs in the city, but deliberately kept silent about this in public space. This was reported on October 20 by the British newspaper Daily Express, citing sources.

"Following an investigation conducted by the Express, Sadiq Khan is charged with concealing evidence of the existence of pedophile gangs in London," the publication says.

It is clarified that the first reports of pedophile gangs in the UK began to arrive in the early 2000s. In more than 10 major cities of the country, law enforcement officers were able to identify the activity of such gangs. The publication noted that the total number of their victims could be measured in the thousands.

In addition, the newspaper added that at the moment six victims have been found, mostly girls aged 13 and over. According to one of the victims, Khan's denial of the existence of organized gangs of pedophiles in the city is a disgrace.

Earlier, on June 25, it was reported that a 66-year-old US citizen was detained in Ukraine, who had been hiding from punishment for more than 30 years in a pedophilia case. The man lived in Arizona and was the director of a kindergarten in Pima County, where between 1984 and 1991 he committed a number of sexual crimes against four children aged four to nine years, and then evaded responsibility by using forged documents in the name of a Mexican citizen.
