Human trafficking: young women sold abroad for hundreds of millions of dong

Luong Thi Toan and five accomplices are accused of luring and trafficking two young women and one child to be wives for foreign men.

On 21/7, Luong Thi Toan, 44, from Chieu Luu commune, and Lo Van May, 48, from Cam Phuc commune, along with four others, were prosecuted and temporarily detained by Nghe An Provincial Police. They face charges of human trafficking and child trafficking.

According to the investigation, Toan and May's group recently approached two young women and a 14-year-old girl. They lured the victims abroad with promises of "easy work with high pay," offering to cover all costs and arrange accommodation.

Authorities allege that after crossing the border, May and Toan colluded with a group of foreign individuals. They then sold the three victims as wives to families seeking them.

Between 25/6 and 13/7, the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Provincial Police, in coordination with specialized units of the Ministry of Public Security, arrested six suspects. All three victims have since been rescued.

The case is currently under expanded investigation.
