Six girls, two of whom are minor, also from socially vulnerable families and from Moldovan villages, were forced to prostitute for a fee by a specialized criminal group.

Several women and men who were detained by the police took part in the group.

The suspects rented apartments in Chisinau district and made mobile phones available to the victims, so that they could be contacted by customers, and if the need to move to the address indicated by the client appeared, the suspects were driving them with their cars. Advertisements for sexual services were posted on certain sites by suspects, and customers' money was also collected by them.

If the victims of trafficking in human beings declared that they refused to provide sexual services to the suspects, they were physically or verbally assaulted, threatened with the spread of confidential information to their families. To be sure that the victims would not run away and denounce the law enforcement, the suspects locked the victims in the rented apartments, forced them to use "salt" drugs. This drug brought the victims to a state where they did not feel the need to sleep for several consecutive days to serve more customers.

At present, criminal investigations, special investigative measures and parallel financial investigations are needed to establish all the circumstances of the case, to gather evidence, to establish all the victims and the persons involved in this illegal scheme for criminal prosecution.

The guilty persons of child trafficking risk up to 20 years in prison.
