Overview

  • Federal Police special investigators removed a 36-year-old woman from a home on Montevideo in Rosario’s barrio Martín after identifying conditions of servitude.
  • Authorities conducted two court-authorized searches, including a second raid in Pueblo Esther where a revolver and a rifle were seized and a 66-year-old man was detained.
  • Prosecutors have identified two women linked to the case who were not present at the Rosario address and remain under investigation.
  • Investigators say the victim was taken from Corrientes at age 14 and forced to perform unpaid domestic work with restricted movement and no access to literacy.
  • Psychologists and human-rights agencies were deployed, and the woman was transferred to a specialized trafficking victims’ assistance center as the federal case advances.
