Four women who were alleged victims of human trafficking were forced into prostitution in Ireland after undergoing a voodoo ceremony in their native Nigeria, a trial has heard.
Details of what State prosecution lawyers have called a ‘tragic’ case of exploitation were heard at the opening day of the trial at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court of two women accused of involvement in human trafficking, prostitution and money laundering.
