New prostitution ring and trafficking involving Syrian women busted in Junieh

3-7-2017

Only one week from the discovery of a prostitution network in Zahleh, the General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) announced that the Anti-Human Trafficking and Morals Protection Bureau at the Judiciary Police Unit has information on a man facilitating prostitution for a number of girls inside one of Junyeh hotels, north of the capital. Following surveillance, on 2/7/2017, a squad of the above Unit arrested the suspect identified as B.A, Lebanese, born in 1989 and known as Batrusa after a successful raid on his house in Halat, Jbeil, the ISF statement said. The Unit also busted the hotel in Junyeh and arrested four women, all Syrian nationals, working for Batrusa who is wanted on a number of human trafficking charges. Investigation is underway under competent judiciary. (Al Mustaqbal, Al Diyar, July 3, 2017)
