Law enforcement agencies have put an end to illegal activities involving the recruitment and transportation of women to EU countries for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

These actions were carried out by the operational personnel of the Lviv Border Guard Detachment in collaboration with representatives of the Criminal Search Department of the National Police in Lviv region, under the procedural guidance of the Yavoriv District Prosecutor's Office, as part of a criminal investigation.

As a result of these measures, a 27-year-old resident of the Vinnytsia region was detained at one of the checkpoints while attempting to transport two Ukrainian citizens across the state border.

The suspect in the criminal case has been detained and is facing charges of committing a criminal offense. She could face imprisonment for a term ranging from three to eight years.

Law enforcement agencies conducted urgent investigative actions and established the circumstances of the offense and the individuals affected. Soon, the court will decide on the preventive measures to be applied to the organizer of the illegal activity.
