Traffickers caught in Italy

As reported by the New York Times, the Italian police accuses more than 2000 foreigners accross Italy of human trafficking. Certain groups of foreigners are exploiting other groups; both women and children are being exploited either sexually or in sweatshops.

Arrests have been made and interrogations are on their way.

Trafficking is just one of the problems Italy faces, as thousands try to reach its shores. For a long time Italy because of its long coasts has been a major target of immigration - mainly illegal. The size of this case, however, highlights the scope of the situation better than anything that happened for a long time.
