Six suspects were arrested in a human trafficking and pimping case

Six of the suspects targeted in the human trafficking and pimping case were placed in pretrial detention for 30 days following searches carried out last week in Romania, Germany and Austria. Another suspect, a police officer, was placed under judicial supervision for 60 days.

The Romanian Police announced that seven other people were detained as part of the investigation. The inquiry concerns a group suspected of involvement in human trafficking and pimping activities, while investigators continue to establish each person’s role in the case.

Following the investigation, the authorities placed two additional luxury cars under seizure. The measure adds to the seizure previously imposed on six other luxury cars, with the assets being examined as part of the investigation.

The case entered a new stage after the operation coordinated in the three countries, during which dozens of searches were conducted. Decisions concerning the suspects’ pretrial detention, judicial supervision and detention were made based on evidence collected by investigators. The investigation continues to document the full extent of the criminal activity and establish the damage caused.
