Five arrested in Pamplona for forcing immigrant women into prostitution
Women were attracted to their countries of origin, offering "attractive employment contracts"; then, when they were in Navarre, they were threatened and forced into prostitution.
An operation against the exploitation of women has left five detainees in Pamplona/Iruña. After two years of investigation, the National Police has carried out the operation and charged those arrested with belonging to a criminal organization for forcing immigrant women into prostitution.
The investigation began following a search on a floor in Pamplona, "where there were indications that women might be forced into prostitution".
Testimony of the victims
The first steps in the investigation "confirmed the suspicions" and were confirmed by agents specializing in the subject, after talking to some of the victims, who also confirmed through their testimonies the performance of the criminal organization.
According to the Police, the organization "took advantage of the precarious living conditions of women in their country of origin to attract them, offering them attractive employment contracts in Spain".
When they arrived, they were stripped of their passports and "forced into prostitution against their will." Women received constant threats, even against their relatives in their countries of origin, in most cases minors.
