Although the investigation into the case began in April, so far the three accused have not been arrested for being part of the network. The investigation began six months ago after the complaint filed by women who were forced to practice prostitution in Spain. Four women of different nationalities denounced that they were forced to prostitute themselves both in private parties and in apartments. In addition, women simply withdrew the documentation, withdrew the money raised and granted a margin of two hours a day to go out to the street, as indicated in the complaint.

The Ertzaintza has arrested three persons as alleged perpetrators of a crime of participation in the network. One man and two women have been arrested in Errenteria, Donostia-San Sebastián and Vitoria-Gasteiz, according to the Foral Police. Several records have been made in dwellings and flats of the aforementioned municipalities, where documentation, drugs, computers, dataphones and cash have been found. Those arrested have been transferred to units of the Ertzaintza, where, following a police procedure, they will be made available to the courts.

The four liberated women have been assisted by NGOs working with Emakunde following the protocol on aid to victims of trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
