TL;DR: The action days resulted in over 130 arrests and around 60 additional suspects being identified, as well as more than 100 new investigations being initiated. In total, over 130 possible victims of human trafficking were identified.
Great to see so many arrests and so many countries working together.
Hopefully next big bust gets more countries participating so that traffickers don’t think certain countries are safe to do this in. Not going to lie, I am disappointed that France, Italy and the Czech Republic did not take part.
Me living in one of the capitals of human trafficking, these numbers make me really happy.
