Spanish police have dismantled a criminal network accused of recruiting and trafficking underage migrants. The network allegedly transported young female migrants from care centers on Gran Canaria to mainland Spain and France. Authorities believe some of the girls were subjected to sexual exploitation. This operation comes amid renewed European debate on migration following recent crossings from Morocco into Ceuta. The investigation highlights the dangers faced by vulnerable migrants and the criminal organizations that exploit them. Authorities are continuing to investigate the full extent of the network’s activities and identify all those involved. This case underscores the need for increased protection for unaccompanied migrant minors.
