Over 7,000 people contributed to the financing of the movie.

According to El Universal, Fabian Marta was arrested for felony child kidnapping.

Tim Ballard specialized in cyber crimes targeting children.

He also worked to combat cases of exploitation and trafficking against minors.

After being released last month in the US, Sound of Freedom has raked in $150 million at the box office.

This is 10 times the budget for making the film, according to El Universal .

Verástegui has not made any statement related to the arrest of the person who helped finance the film.

However, Eduardo Verástegui’s Instagram profile reads: «God’s children are not for sale.»
