Prostitution ring broken up in Alicante and Murcia: "Civil Guard said in a press release on Tuesday that investigations began in October 2009 into a gang of Albanian criminals known to have been previously involved in organised burglary and which was believed to now be involved in sexual exploitation.
Two of the leaders were located in Orihuela Costa and Mazarrón, Murcia, from where the network was led with the help of a Romanian woman who oversaw the team of women. It’s understood that the victims were brought over to Spain with the false promise of work, only to find their identity papers confiscated by the leaders of the gang once they arrived in the country.
They were recruited by other Romanian nationals resident in Alicante province.
They were then put to work as prostitutes, under the threat of physical harm to either themselves or to their families.
Europa Press notes that up to 20 women worked for the network at one point and that some were, on occasion, exchanged by the gang members for cars."
