Overview
- Operation Trasgu, led by UCRIF agents, resulted in the police detaining a couple and a third suspect in Valladolid on human trafficking and labor exploitation charges.
- Investigators say the Paraguayan victim was lured with promises of a dignified bar job and subjected to semislavery conditions in two local establishments.
- Her workweeks reached 73 hours at a nominal €1,000 monthly salary; debt repayments and housing fees cut her actual income to roughly €150.
- Prosecutors allege the male suspect forced her into sexual servitude with false promises of an employment contract.
- After appearing before a judge, all three were released by order of the judicial authority as the UCRIF-led inquiry continues.
