Romanian and German authorities, supported by Eurojust, shut down a cross-border human trafficking ring suspected of trafficking women for sexual exploitation in Germany. An action day on 22 October 2026 led to the apprehension of seven suspects, with 20 properties searched across both countries. Further arrests were later carried out as follow-up to the initial operation. Eurojust supported a joint investigation team that helped investigators gather evidence of the group’s cross-border criminal activity. The operation involved coordinated actions in Romania and Germany, with authorities moving from the initial raids to additional arrests at a later date.
