The Zurich prosecutor's office has filed charges against a suspected human trafficker. The 32-year-old Spaniard is accused of running a prostitution network operating throughout Switzerland. He allegedly forced more than two dozen women into illegal prostitution by recruiting women from South America and housing them in accommodations in the cantons of Aargau and Zurich. He took most of their earnings and dictated the conditions of their sex work. The women were driven to their clients by illegal chauffeurs. The accused, originally from South America, is generally confessing, so the trial against him can take place in an abbreviated procedure. The court date at the District Court of Pfäffikon has not yet been set. This case involves a 32-year-old Spaniard accused of running a prostitution network throughout Switzerland.
