...we have ever disclosed in Germany.

If I had to guess I would say that this is simply a translation issue, not an indication that German police regularly find child pornographers but don't disclose it. I bet we'd find that the word the police officer used in German can be translated as either "disclosed" or "discovered," or we might find that the police officer, if he was speaking in English, mistakenly believed that "disclosed" is equivalent to "discovered."

LOL, I´m not so sure about that. Consider, that Richard Beer is from the east-German state of Saxony-Anhalt. Back in the times of the GDR, they´ve probably found child pornography but didn´t disclose it (maybe the Politburo was involved?). ;-D

Disclose-

1) To expose to view, as by removing a cover; uncover.
2) To make known (something heretofore kept secret).

------

Maybe the German used the correct word?
