National Police agents dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to human trafficking and coercive prostitution with the release of seven victims who were forced to work tirelessly by forcing them to insert sponges into their vaginas at the time of their rules.
During the searches they discovered money, drugs, electronic devices and safes. The investigation began last June when agents became aware of the existence of two homes located in the neighborhoods of Carabanchel and Ciudad Lineal where prostitution was practiced in a coercive manner.
Due to the large number of customers visiting, several women controlled the workers by providing narcotic substances to users if they requested them.
They also had security cameras to monitor victims even in rest areas. These cameras were also used to send reprimands via loudspeaker when they were late in performing a service due to illness or any other reason.
Their working conditions were inhumane, they had no ventilation, they were not allowed to turn on the heating except in areas intended for sexual services and they were even infested with cockroaches.
sponge in vagina
Victims were forced to work 24 hours a day without interruption and could not refuse any specific service or practice. Similarly, when they were on their period, they had to insert a sponge into their vagina in order to continue having sex without the clients noticing.
If all the rooms were occupied, they were obliged to perform service in the bathrooms or in the kitchen. As for the advantages, they offered the possibility of payment through immediate banking applications, withdrawing it later to give it to one of the components of the organization.
If they paid in cash, the money was kept in safes in homes, to which only officials who checked out the collection once a day had access.
At the beginning of last month, a device was set up, carrying out two entries and searches in the houses where there were computer equipment, four mobile phones, 40 grams of cocaine distributed in doses, marijuana, hashish, stimulants sexual as well as notebooks and notebooks with notes on illicit affairs.
This operation resulted in the arrest of seven people – six women and one man – as suspected perpetrators of the offense of trafficking in human beings for the purposes of sexual exploitation, against public health and money laundering.
