SCHEME/ Here's how Colombian women were exploited for prostitution in
Tirana and Colombia

New details have been published in Colombian media regarding the prostitution ring that was busted in Tirana and Colombia.

The Colombian National Police, in an operation coordinated with the State Attorney General's Office and international agencies such as Europol, has struck a powerful transnational criminal structure known as "RAPHAX", which was involved in human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation in Europe.

The operation was carried out through simultaneous checks in several cities across the country.

As a result of the police offensive, 12 arrest warrants were executed in the cities of Medellín (9), Pereira (2) and Cali (1) against members of this criminal network.

All detainees will face charges of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and participation in a structured criminal group.

Recruitment of 60 victims and the route of exploitation

Investigations revealed that the "RAPHAX" criminal group had recruited more than 60 victims in the cities of Medellín and Cali.

The victims were sent to an exploitation network that operated in several European countries, including Albania, Montenegro, Malta, Croatia and Kosovo .

They were contacted via social networks, where the fraud was carried out through false job offers.

The leader of the network, known by the nickname "LUKAS", was arrested in Medellín.

He was a high-priority target and was wanted internationally in Albania and Malta as the main organizer of the recruitment of women for exploitation.

Debt slavery and international cooperation

Once they arrived in Europe, the victims were placed in conditions similar to modern slavery.

Users were charged an initial debt of 5 thousand euros for travel and accommodation, which in practice became impossible to repay, as their income was withheld by the network and they were constantly fined.

The operation also expanded to Europe, where Europol executed seven more arrest warrants against members of the network in Albania.

This cooperation emphasizes the importance of international coordination in the fight against transnational organized crime.

So far this year, the Colombian National Police has carried out 13 operations against human trafficking, arresting 80 people, 19 of whom are foreigners, which shows Colombia's commitment to the fight against this phenomenon.
