Policia Nacional have detained forty-eight individuals in connection with a suspected human trafficking operation that allegedly lured over one thousand women to Spain. The women – primarily from Venezuela and Colombia – were misled into believing they had secured jobs in beauty or cleaning services. Instead, they were coerced into sex work upon arrival in the country. Raids were carried out across Alicante and Murcia where officers uncovered evidence of the women being closely monitored and only permitted to leave their locations for two hours daily. Among those arrested were three Colombian nationals and a Spanish individual. Authorities also shut down three adult clubs linked to the trafficking operation and confiscated over a million euros.
