Human Trafficking Nets Dismantled in Hamra
Lebanese security forces have dismantled two organized human trafficking and prostitution networks in the Hamra area of Beirut, arresting several involved individuals. Investigations revealed that the first network relied on sending photos of girls via WhatsApp, allowing clients to reserve rooms in hotels to carry out prostitution activities. Three Syrian girls and a Palestinian driver were apprehended, along with the individual known as A. H., who managed the network. The second network operated under an "Escort" system, with four Russian women and one Brazilian woman arrested, and cash sums confiscated. It was determined that the leadership of both networks is controlled by two individuals from outside Lebanon, known by the nicknames "Mila" and "Max." Warrants have been issued for their arrest, as well as for other involved parties. Additionally, the hotel owner and staff have been detained, some of the apprehended individuals have been handed over to the judiciary, and investigations are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects.
