Overview
- Eight suspects were detained in the operation, with four ordered into provisional prison.
- The action formed part of operación Alaragua led by the Guardia Civil with support from the EMUME victim-protection unit.
- Victims were brought primarily from Venezuela and Colombia to Roquetas de Mar before being moved to other Spanish cities for sexual exploitation.
- The network kept tight control by accompanying women in person or directing them via mobile phones, while managing and collecting the proceeds.
- Home searches of alleged ringleaders yielded evidentiary material as investigators keep the case open under court and prosecutor supervision.
