Human Trafficking: Conspiracy To Commit Murder

Immigration Policies Dept: The report, entitled "Human Trafficking in Canada: A Threat Assessment," was prepared for the RCMP's Immigration and Passport Branch to provide the Mounties with an overview of human trafficking activities in Canada, as well as the extent of organized crime involvement in the practice, according to CTV. The report found that human traffickers exploit Canada's immigration policies to bring foreign workers into the sex trade. Criminal groups use passports from travel visa-exempt countries, such as Israel, Estonia, Latvia and Korea, to bring victims to Canada and the majority of human-trafficking convictions in Canada between 2005 and 2009 involved victims who were brought to Canada to work in the illegal sex trade, RCMP say in a new report. Looking at data from investigations between 2005 and 2009 that had human trafficking elements, the Mounties found that: Recent convictions for human trafficking have mostly involved victims who are citizens or permanent residents of Canada "trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation." Human trafficking for sexual exploitation is largely associated with organized prostitution occurring behind fronts, such as escort agencies and residential brothels. Many human trafficking suspects are linked to other organized crime activities, such as credit card, mortgage and immigration fraud, prostitution and conspiracy to commit murder. As reported in the news.
