People traffickers jailed for two years

The Limassol district court on Tuesday jailed three Bulgarian nationals, a woman and two men, the first for two years and the others for 20 months, after finding them guilty of trafficking people for the purpose of coercing them to solicit for money.

It was the first conviction in such a case.

Police launched an investigation after the defendants were reported by a woman from a European country in October 2020.
