Four arrests in Dublin in international trafficking probe

Four people were arrested in Dublin linked to a Brazilian organized crime group involved in trafficking around 70 women for sexual exploitation since 2017, authorities said.

  • As part of an international human trafficking investigation, authorities detained four individuals—three men and one woman—in Dublin on Wednesday.
  • The arrests followed coordinated searches in four Dublin locations and simultaneous operations in Brazil involving Garda National Protective Services Bureau, Brazilian Federal Police, and Europol.
  • The inquiry focuses on offences related to organised crime such as trafficking in persons, illicit prostitution activities, and managing brothels, with law enforcement personnel from Europol and Brazil’s Federal Police participating in the operation in Dublin.
  • An Garda Síochána described the crimes as "heinous" and urged victims or witnesses to contact local Garda stations or call the confidential line at 1800 666 111 for support.
  • The four individuals are being held in Garda stations in Dublin in accordance with the Criminal Justice Act 2007, while Gardaí continue their inquiry with assistance from multiple internal units and international law enforcement partners.
