Spanish police Apprehends 25 Nigerians for Allege ‘$-ex trafficking’



Spanish police say they've arrested 25 people in a sex-trafficking ring that brought women from Nigeria to act as prostitutes. The ladies, allegedly lured with the promise of good jobs in Europe, were first flown to Mexico or Brazil, travelling on false identity documents. From there, these were flown to Paris, then smuggled into Spain to work in the sex trade, police say.

Five women who have been victims of the $-ex ring were freed in the raids. Police found one member of the gang performing an abortion on one of many five women, reports the BBC. Arrests were made across Spain – in Madrid, Toledo, Cantabria and Palma de Mallorca. More than 100 vans concealing luxury goods were also seized. The gang used the vans to launder their profits and send them back to Lagos, police say. The vans, with dark-tinted windows and welded doors, were stocked filled with beer but had luxury items hidden deeper inside.
Goods worth an estimated 5m euros (£4.1m; $6.6m) were within 94 vans seized in Madrid and another 26 in the port of Valencia, including high-end televisions and cases of alcohol. Police say the gang was formed significantly more than 20 years back in Nigerian universities and was also known for sending so-called Nigerian letters by email, asking recipients to send money.
