A man from the capital city will spend his next 16 years in jail for human trafficking.

The 26-year-old man recruited two young women to employ them as cooks in Russia.

He paid for their passports, but on arrival the girls were compelled to prostitution.

Later in 2016, the man was sentenced to 12 years of prison for robbery, as a court has recently issued him a 16-year sentence for both felonies.
