Prostitutes brought from Nigeria to Italy Destination Torino | 7 arrested They managed sex slaves from Nigeria to Turin

From Nigeria to Libya on cattle cars then to Italy by other means, but always controlled by an organization of Italians specialized in trafficking in women for prostitution in Italy, in particular in Turin. The association was dismantled by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Nucleus of Genoa, which arrested seven people.

The investigations made it possible to identify a group of Nigerians who, after having "bought" young girls in their country of origin, made them arrive in Italy through the migratory flows in the Mediterranean Sea departing from the Libyan coasts. Many of them have faced a long voyage to the Libyan coasts aboard trucks to transport livestock in inhumane conditions; during the odyssey through the desert, which in stages could last even months, they were subjected to physical violence.

Arrived in Italy and accepted at the C.A.R.A. (Reception Centers for Asylum Seekers), women were taken directly from their buyers and transferred to Turino and its province. The C.A.R.A were in no way involved in the investigation and were unaware of the organization's activities.

The survey developments have allowed us to identify a group of people belonging to the Nigerian community of Torino. The girls were attracted by the promise of a new life in Italy, far from the misery and suffering for the conditions of life suffered in their places of origin. Arrived in Torino and in the hinterland, they were segregated in the homes of their exploiters who immediately launched them to prostitution, obliging them - even behind the threat of nefarious events for them and their families, propitiated with voodoo rituals - to pay the proceeds of the illicit activity both to redeem identification documents stolen by the deception of a self-styled occupation, and to pay the monthly rent of the portion of the street occupied for prostitution.

The investigation made it possible to stop the exploitation by seven people (4 men and 3 women) of five prostitutes in their early twenties, reduced to conditions of total sexual slavery on the streets of Rivoli, Grugliasco, Settimo Torinese and Moncalieri, whose number would certainly have been nurtured thanks to the solid contacts with the criminal organizations structured in Africa and dedicated to trafficking in human beings. Of the four men who received the precautionary measure, two of whom were arrested in Turin, one is already detained in a French prison for trafficking in drugs; the other, untraceable on the national territory, was located in Germany. For both, the procedure for issuing a European arrest order was initiated. Of the three women, two of whom were arrested in Turin apartments, one was traced on board a train on the Naples-Venice line. Upon arrival at the railway station of Mestre Railway Station, he found the Carabinieri of the Investigation Units of Genoa and Venice waiting for her.
