Two-year investigation into white slavery ring results in arrests. Suspects believed to have forced hundreds of women from former USSR countries into prostitution


The Israel Police arrested a dozen men for alleged human trafficking Sunday. The suspects are believed to have been running a white slavery ring, “trading” in women from the former Soviet Union.

The arrests were made by Tel Aviv Sub district Police officers. All 12 suspects are to be arraigned later this week.

Russian and Ukraine authorities have arrested thirteen overseas suspects, believed to be partners in the ring.

The case began two years ago, when a covert investigation into the business dealings of a 35-year-old man from northern Israel was launched. The man was suspected of running a prostitution ring spanning Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine, Moldova and Uzbekistan.
