As per Alliance reports, Interpol's covert Task Force [number redacted] stumbled upon a human trafficking ring while undercover on a lavish yacht near Monaco.
This discovery came after receiving a tip-off from an insider with connections on board.
The yacht, belonging to one of the apprehended bankers, served as the venue for an elite auction where hostages were being sold to affluent buyers.
While following a lead, Interpol's Task Force uncovered a network of elite bankers who had been conducting illicit auctions for several months. Predominantly targeting women and children, they lured women with false job promises and abducted underage girls, holding them captive on a yacht until a buyer emerged.
The hostages, mainly from developing nations, were sold for substantial sums to high-profile clients across the globe, often tied to organized crime and human trafficking.
With ample evidence in hand, Interpol's Task Force orchestrated a covert rescue mission, employing former Special Forces operatives from various countries. This operation remained clandestine, concealed from local authorities and the public, resulting in the safe recovery of tranquilized captives found caged.
