Ukraine prosecutors uncover sex trafficking ring preying on women fleeing country

Authorities arrest suspected gang leader who allegedly lured women with false job offers then forced them into prostitution

Investigators in Ukraine said they had foiled a criminal gang who forced women into sex work abroad after luring them with false adverts for legitimate employment.

Authorities in Kyiv arrested the suspected leader of the gang after months of surveillance resulted in them stopping a woman as she was about to cross the border. They were then able to confirm the suspect's involvement.
