Authorities arrested four people, two men and two young women, for “human trafficking.”
The arrested arranged “dates” with seven underage girls whom they subjected to sexual exploitation. According to a statement from the Greek police: “In the context of an investigation into a case of forced prostitution of minors in hotels in the center of Athens, a police operation was carried out. The actions took place over two days, from 17 to 18 March 2024, in the areas of Vironas and Egaleo, as well as in the squares of Attica and Omonia. During operational actions, four citizens were identified and arrested. All of them are accused of systematic human trafficking.”
The 25-year-old woman was additionally arrested for drug trafficking based on an arrest warrant issued for her. Since the summer of 2023, the 25-year-old guy has recruited seven minor girls who have reached the age of 14, having previously established friendly relations with them. The pimp facilitated their meetings with clients for the purpose of sexual exploitation. The girl received part of the money from the meetings and often accompanied the minors herself. Moreover, in some cases, instead of money, she supplied the victim with drugs.
Women took girls to hotels in their cars. Digital evidence and a small amount of drugs were seized during the operation. The detainees were taken to the relevant prosecutor’s office, and then to the investigative agency.
According to preliminary information, the advertising “promoting” the girls left hints of their immature age. The price for rapist clients was 200-400 euros.
