On 04/03/2024, the prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism – Territorial Service Craiova together with policemen from BCCO Craiova carry out 8 house searches, in Dolj county, in two criminal cases, regarding the commission of minors trafficking crimes and human trafficking.
From the evidentiary material administered in the first case, it emerged that in January 2023, a suspect recruited a minor injured person, aged 15, taking advantage of her obvious state of vulnerability (precarious material situation, naivety, lack of education) and by misleading (promises of cohabitation), he transported and sheltered her in Italy where, through acts of physical and mental violence, he sexually exploited her forcing her to practice prostitution (“on the street”).
In the criminal activity, he benefited from the support of another suspect (a member of his family), who had the role of supervising the minor victim and collecting the sums of money resulting from the criminal activity.
The research carried out in the second file revealed the fact that four suspects (members of the same family) recruited several injured persons, minors and adults, by misleading or taking advantage of their state of vulnerability, after which they -they transported to Italy, in order to obtain sums of money from their sexual exploitation.
The hearings will take place at the headquarters of the Directorate for Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism – Territorial Service Craiova.
The action benefits from the support of gendarmes from the Mobile Group of Gendarmes Craiova.
Specialist support was provided by the Special Operations Directorate of the Romanian Police.
We make it clear that, during the entire criminal process, the investigated persons benefit from the procedural rights and guarantees provided by the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as the presumption of innocence.
