According to the ministry, a few another persons, believed to be
involved in the same crimes, were arrested and an investigation in
the entire case is under way.
The Montenegrin interior ministry has recently found out an
international chain in the trafficking in human beings and sex
slavery, the destination of which was in Montenegro.
This year, Montenegrin police have pressed charges against 29
persons believed to be involved in the human trafficking.
In the past three years, the interior ministry in cooperation with a
few non-governmental organisations, found and returned to their
homes 46 girls who were the victims of the sex trafficking.
A NGO "Women's Safe House" on Sunday asked the State Prosecutor,
Bozidar Vukcevic, to resign over the scandal about the trafficking
in human beings. The NGO head, Ljiljana Raicevic, asserted that
Vukcevic was also a part of the entire scandal.
