However, in Spain “they were forced to prostitute themselves” in different homes, “where one of them was raped by one of the clients without any member of the organization preventing it,” he said in a statement.
“The floors where the criminal network prostituted their victims had video surveillance systems that allowed them to control all their movements”, since “the exploiters” kept 40 percent of each service because “they did not get to freely dispose of the money they generated,” he added.
The organization increased its profits by selling drugs and sexual enhancers to customers, according to the Police.
