Two suspects indicted for running human trafficking network in Haifa, Kiryat Shmona

Two suspects, a man and a woman, were indicted in the Haifa Magistrate's Court for operating a human trafficking network in Haifa and Kiryat Shmona. The indictment followed a year-long undercover investigation that started in July 2025, which uncovered evidence that the suspects used social media to lure victims with false promises of office jobs. Once recruited, victims were given temporary housing and small stipends before being pressured into providing sexual services through threats. The suspects targeted vulnerable women, including those who were disabled, mentally distressed, or financially insecure. Multiple arrests occurred in June 2026, and the main suspects had their detention extended pending the indictments. Israeli police emphasized their commitment to investigating human trafficking and protecting victims.
