Human trafficking ring uncovered by joint investigation team

Eurojust has coordinated the international investigation led by German and Romanian authorities into a human trafficking ring sexually exploiting young women across Europe. The criminal group is suspected of luring their victims using the “lover boy” method and moved them to Germany and other EU Member States for sexual exploitation. Currently approximately 30 victims have been identified. An action day on 5 November led to the apprehension of 15 people in Romania.
