CHILD ABUSE / CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING
More Than 1,000 Arrested in International Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling Operation By Homeland Security Today
Confirming the severity of a growing global trend, Operation FLASH-WEKA unveiled several cases of large-scale human trafficking involving victims who would start online jobs and end up forced to commit cyber-enabled financial crime on an industrial scale.
July 26, 2023 – INTERPOL and AFRIPOL’s first joint operation against human trafficking and migrant smuggling has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests worldwide and thousands of victims detected.
Coordinated with the participation of law enforcement in 54 countries, Operation FLASH-WEKA took place in two phases between May and June to dismantle the organized crime networks behind human trafficking and migrant smuggling in Africa and beyond.
Using INTERPOL’s global criminal databases, local law enforcement worked with INTERPOL and AFRIPOL to locate, intercept and stop criminals operating across borders. The joint operation resulted in 1,062 arrests, 2,731 irregular migrants detected, 823 human trafficking victims identified, and over 800 items of criminal merchandise seized.
“Human trafficking and migrant smuggling are often part of a wider and more complex criminal chain. This is why close cooperation between INTERPOL and AFRIPOL is so important in uniting our resources to dismantle these networks and ultimately identify and rescue thousands of unsuspecting victims,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Jürgen Stock. “The leads generated by Operation FLASH-WEKA will no doubt result in further arrests, bringing to justice those who traffic in human misery.”
Human Trafficking: An American Tradition of Silence Armstrong Williams
Jul 27, 2023 – In the hushed corners of our society, a sinister industry flourishes, largely hidden and unspoken of. It’s an issue so shocking and perplexing that people tend to ignore it when brought to light. This is the pandemic of sex trafficking and child sex trafficking.
One might presume that in a civilized, developed nation like the United States, such a crime would be promptly detected, prosecuted and eradicated. Yet, this is far from the truth. Sex trafficking thrives within our borders, and its true extent remains largely unknown. Prosecutors seldom uncover the crimes of traffickers, and sometimes, alarmingly, they choose to overlook them.
Consider the notorious case of Jeffrey Epstein. Despite a substantial federal investigation revealing enough evidence to put him behind bars for several lifetimes, Epstein was barely punished. Instead of dismantling a major human sex trafficking network that would have likely taken down numerous high-profile celebrities and politicians, Epstein received a minor penalty, serving only 13 months in county jail, with the privilege of leaving for work six days a week.
