The Office of the Prosecutor General of Hungary brought charges against two men who forced a woman into prostitution in Budapest by deception and threats.
The operation was organised by Europol, Frontex, and Interpol in early June. The week-long raid in Hungary was coordinated by the National Bureau Investigation of the Rapid Response Police (NBI).
Investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation of the Rapid Response Police arrested a man in Nyíregyháza in February, who is suspected of having forced two Hungarian women into prostitution for years. After the arrest of the suspect, police officers continued to investi-gate the case.
On 6 June 2024, the National Institute of Criminology (NIC) hosted a hybrid conference on "Recent Trends in Human Trafficking since 2020, with a special focus on the characteristics of labour exploitation", attended by 170 law enforcement officers, prosecutors and labour inspectors in person and online.
Organised under the umbrella of a platform for cooperation between EU Member States, the action aimed to identify and eradicate all forms of sexual and labour exploitation.
