Exploited girls<\/p>\n

The victims, all of Albanian nationality, according to what has been reconstructed, suffered constant physical and psychological harassment. Women were forced to hand over all their income to their exploiters and were in conditions of total subjugation, maintained even through manipulative sentimental ties. Among them would be Sonila, found dead in the bathroom of a small apartment where she lived with her partner (now among those under investigation) and her two-year-old child.<\/p>\n
