An organized crime group allegedly recruited vulnerable young women using the 'loverboy' method and transported them to Germany for prostitution. Seven individuals were detained, while seven others are evading prosecution. The operation involved 20 searches in Romania and Germany, supported by German authorities and Europol. Investigators claim that members of the group exploited victims for financial gain, using various tactics to recruit and control them. Some suspects are also accused of laundering money from these activities. A joint investigation team was established under Eurojust to document the group's operations, leading to multiple arrests and ongoing investigations into additional suspects.
