The Administrative Control Authority (ACA) has arrested a group of 20 Egyptians and foreigners who are accused of being involved in an international human trafficking ring, according to Egypt Today. The defendants are being charged with forcing women to perform “immoral acts” and importing outlawed substances from Turkey. The ACA also says its investigation found that a Foreign Ministry employee was also implicated in the ring, and has aided in the trafficking of immigrants.
