Spanish Police Dismantle Chinese Human Trafficking Network Exploiting Asian Women

Authorities arrested 30 members of the 'Tian Xia She' triad and rescued 33 women subjected to forced prostitution across Spain.

The Spanish police, with Europol's support, arrested 30 members of the Chinese criminal organization 'Tian Xia She' in Madrid, Barcelona, and other cities.
The operation freed 33 Asian women, including one minor, who were forced into prostitution and treated as modern-day slaves.
Victims were lured to Spain under false promises, then subjected to sexual exploitation, unprotected sex, forced abortions, and constant surveillance.
The criminal group profited by selling some victims, including minors, as 'virgins' for large sums before placing them in brothels.
Raids in Spain and Croatia uncovered forged passports, luxury vehicles, drugs, weapons, and €180,000 in cash, highlighting the group's involvement in broader criminal activities like drug trafficking and extortion.
