Mexican authorities found files containing a large number of explicit sex scenes between adults and children up to 10 years of age at the ministry worker's house, the statement said.
The inquiry began in March and led to the discovery of suspected members of the network throughout Mexico, it added.
Authorities said that the children appeared to be of different nationalities, and that the suspects had given details of their contacts throughout Latin America and Europe.
