The Burtea clan from Bucharest is accused of running a human trafficking network that exploited around 30 young women across Europe. The group allegedly generated over 3 million euros through sexual exploitation. DIICOT conducted extensive raids in Romania, Germany, and Austria, targeting the network's members. The clan reportedly used the 'lover boy' method to recruit victims, who were then coerced into prostitution. Two police officers are suspected of aiding the group by leaking information and obstructing investigations. The operation involved 57 searches and cooperation with German authorities, highlighting the ongoing issue of organized crime in the region.
