Government Officials: Trafficking Networks

government officials: The list gives the most concrete figure yet for the number of women caught up in the trafficking schemes since 2018, according to CTV. But since the time it was put together in June, investigators' aggressive drive against the networks has largely ground to a halt. The list, obtained by The Associated Press, was compiled by Pakistani investigators determined to break up trafficking networks exploiting the country's poor and vulnerable. Officials with knowledge of the investigations say that is because of pressure from government officials fearful of hurting Pakistan's lucrative ties to Beijing. In October, a court in Faisalabad acquitted 31 Chinese nationals charged in connection with trafficking. The biggest case against traffickers has fallen apart. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
