Spain breaks migrant girl trafficking ring
The Spanish police dismantled a criminal network involved in trafficking underage migrant girls from care centers in the Canary Islands to mainland Spain and France, where some were subjected to sexual exploitation. The network used forged documents to organize air and land journeys for transporting the girls, exploiting their vulnerabilities and difficult situations. The investigation was triggered after a migrant girl returned to Spain and reported being recruited with the promise of a job. The operations led to the rescue of two victims and the arrest of five individuals. These events coincided with the ongoing crisis of irregular migrants in Ceuta, where authorities recorded the entry of approximately 72,000 migrants over two months, including more than 1,300 unaccompanied minors at risk of exploitation.
