The Lowdown
It’s happening in broad daylight. In your city. In your neighborhood. And most of us have no idea.
An elite human trafficking ring, operating like a cold-blooded business empire, has just been exposed — and Poznań was one of their hunting grounds. The victims? Vulnerable young Ukrainian women, tricked, pimped out, and treated like disposable merchandise by a highly organized criminal group.
The Numbers Are Sickening
- 18 people arrested so far
- Dozens of women exploited
- millions of zł in profits
- One woman alone “earned” them 120,000 zł
- And yes — this was happening right here in Poznań.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBŚP), together with prosecutors from the Małopolska region, brought down this monstrous operation that spanned Kraków, Warsaw, Wrocław — and Poznań.
The Method
The Method? Like Running a Corporation.
These criminals didn’t hide in the shadows — they ran a full-on operation. Ads were posted online like it was just another escort service. Call center “receptionists” took bookings. Women were delivered to rented flats or transported like cargo to clients. The level of coordination was chilling.
In some cases, recruiters were paid up to 50,000 zł to “source” women, preying on those desperate for a better life. And when that wasn’t enough? Drugs were forced on the women to keep them compliant.
Tip of the icberg
Phones. Cash. Drugs. Even assets worth over 100,000 zł were seized during raids. And this is just the beginning. Authorities warn the case is still developing, and more arrests and horrifying details could be coming soon.
Interestingly, the report doesn’t confirm whether the gang members were Polish, Ukrainian, or a mix of both — raising more questions about who’s really behind this massive operation.
