Five Romanians have been sentenced in Scotland to prison terms ranging from 8 to 24 years for rapes and abuses against ten women, whom they drugged and exploited.

Five Romanians, led by Marian Cumpănașoiu, have been sentenced in Scotland for rapes and sexual abuses against ten women, whom they drugged and exploited in apartments in Dundee. Cumpănașoiu received a 24-year sentence, while the other group members received sentences ranging from 8 to 20 years. The judge emphasized that the group took advantage of the victims' vulnerability. Three of the convicted initially fled but were extradited.

The group's activities were discovered following a police operation targeting the trafficking of women from Eastern Europe. The victims were manipulated with drugs and forced into prostitution. Cumpănașoiu was described as a ruthless leader, and prosecutors presented video evidence illustrating his abusive behavior. The conviction was the result of a six-week trial, during which detailed testimonies about the abuses suffered by the women were presented.
