In a significant development, a 41-year-old woman has been arrested in Berlin-Schöneberg on suspicion of forced prostitution and human trafficking. The arrest, which took place on Tuesday morning, is part of an ongoing investigation conducted by the Berlin State Criminal Police Office (LKA Berlin) in collaboration with Europol.
The investigation, which began some time ago, has seen 15 addresses in Berlin and one in Brandenburg searched. During these searches, investigators found cash in the five-figure range, a knife, two brass knuckles, several electronic data carriers, and a digital wallet (cryptowallet).
The accused is alleged to have placed ads and rented apartments for the purpose of prostitution. Seven individuals, aged between 22 and 48, are also accused of recruiting women for prostitution using a dating platform. The identities of these seven additional suspects, who are to be arrested with the woman in Berlin-Schöneberg, have not been publicly disclosed by the Berlin prosecutor's office.
The investigations, especially the evaluation of the electronic data carriers, are ongoing. No further details about the other suspects or the other suspects linked to forced exploitation and human trafficking were provided by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The arrest warrant for the suspect was issued by a judge. The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office announced the arrest, and it is believed that this case is related to allegations of forced prostitution and human trafficking.
Europol collaborated with the police in Brazil during the investigation. The details of this collaboration have not been disclosed, but it is clear that this is a transnational investigation.
The Public Prosecutor's Office urges anyone with information relevant to this case to come forward and contact the authorities. This is a serious matter, and the authorities are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.
