Bullrich's Ministry dismantled a new human trafficking network

The investigation included 10 raids, three arrests, and the seizure of money, drugs, and electronic devices

In a decisive demonstration of operational efficiency, the National Government—through the Ministry of Security led by Patricia Bullrich—dealt a decisive blow against international organized crime. On May 22, the Airport Security Police (PSA) dismantled a human trafficking network for sexual exploitation that operated from the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) to digital platforms based in Europe.

The action was the result of a meticulous investigation carried out by the PSA's Specialized Human Trafficking Team, in coordination with the Federal Prosecutor's Office No. 1 of Morón and under the orders of the Federal Court No. 2 of the same district. 10 simultaneous raids were conducted in Villa Luzuriaga, Morón, Hurlingham, San Justo, Ezeiza, and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

As a result of the operation, three key members of the organization were arrested, including the main recruiter in Argentine territory, and the logistical managers in Chile and the structural leaders of the criminal circuit in Spain were identified.

According to official sources, the gang targeted women in vulnerable situations, forcing them to produce pornographic content through live broadcasts, initially from a studio set up in San Justo and later from their own homes. The victims, women aged between 18 and 55, were forced to meet production targets under psychological pressure, receiving only a minimal portion of the income, while 80% of the profits were channeled through a Spanish company associated with the criminal network.

The outcome of the operation was decisive:

24,300 US dollars seized

More than 1,500,000 Argentine pesos confiscated

Electronic devices with key evidence

Marijuana and other elements related to the case

Additionally, 17 women were rescued, who were interviewed, supported, and assisted by specialized teams.

The Ministry of Security reported that the investigation remains open, and further arrests and charges at the international level are not ruled out. The procedure is considered a milestone in the criminal policy of Javier Milei's government, reaffirming the promise to regain control of the territory, ensure the law, and put an end to the exploitation networks that operated with impunity in previous administrations.
