 Criminal Group engaged in trafficking liquidated in Azerbaijan

Members of the Union on Combating Trafficking successfully conducted an operation and arrested a group of people, who presumably were engaged in human trafficking. Three of the suspects are women and one is a man, the brother of one of the women.

The members of the criminal group were transferring women abroad (supposedly mainly to Dubai). After transfer of girls to the third countries they were forced into prostitution. Investigation is continuing.
