German Security Forces, on Wednesday, conducted a series of raids across the country as part of investigations into people smuggling and forced sex work, a police spokesperson said.
The police said the federal police conducted large-scale raids in several states targeting an alleged people-smuggling ring, which is said to have brought at least 58 people, including children, into Germany illegally.
“Those people, who paid between 3,500 and 8,000 euros (4,165-9,520 dollars) for their journeys, were at times left in lorries or transporters for several days,” the police said.
