“we know of some cases….in one case, in the Fall of 2001, our local newspaper said that a criminal group was arrested in Novosibirsk. But the leader of the group that was identified is from Barnaul. This group dealt with recruiting young ladies to work as secretaries—but then the girls were forced to work as prostitutes. According to the investigation, “at least 25 young ladies from Altai region were “recruited” by this network”—but the number is certainly higher. The criminals were prosecuted—but we do not know how long they were sentenced for.
Not sure—they do advertise here!

Cyprus, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Spain (Cyprus has a law that allows nightclubs and other venues to “import up to 10 performers” to work in their clubs that gets around the Consulate since the women who are recruited do not have to go to the consulate like people who are looking for “real work”. This is a serious loophole in the law that is abused by the notorious red light districts in Cyprus that cater to tourists)

During the Angel Coalition antitrafficking campaign this past May, our local FSB contacted us and got involved in a “sting” operation. The FSB investigated a a Veliki Novgorod couples who trafficked young women overseas. They had an office in their apartment. FSB needed information to arrest these people and asked us to help. We provided them the information; the couple was sued by the FSB. After the preliminary hearing, the couple’s business was actually revealed to be part of an extensive network….but this is not confirmed, and the trial is now in progress.

Ads in some papers
Not to our knowledge
Most ads are unnamed agencies offering jobs in these countries
Nothing we heard of… And we are skeptical about charging such accusations or prosecution in our region because currently we’re observing a negative tendency ---in the city the court system is biased against women or like our member characterized this – “gender insensitive”. We have an example when a husband slapped his wife on her face in public right in a courtroom during the divorce trial and there was no any kind of a judge’s reaction.
Some ads, not sure which are traffickers
Ms. Logish is an attorney. No prosecutions of traffickers, but recently, “during a routine check of who was living in a certain apartment, local officials found out that two small children were missing and were “sold to people in the US”. This is currently under investigation.

They applied to the court –but the recruitment agency sued the girls for libel. The trial is still in process. (MiraMed note: reporters from Cox Newspapers flew to Cyprus and did a story on these women and interviewed the “travel agency” that sent them.
