Argentine Teen Rescued From Trafficking in Bolivia
Why this is here: Authorities believe Cristian Enrique Díaz used social media groups with many followers to promote women for sexual services.
Police in Yacuiba, Bolivia rescued a 16-year-old Argentine girl after her mother reported her missing from Salta on May 11th. The rescue occurred as Bolivian authorities arrested Cristian Enrique Díaz, a 43-year-old Argentine man. He is accused of leading a human trafficking ring operating for sexual exploitation.
Investigators located the girl after analyzing a photograph and tracing her last movements to Yacuiba, in the Tarija department. The operation also freed two adult Bolivian women. Díaz allegedly used social media to advertise women for sex work, arranging quick meetings with clients.
The rescued teenager returned to Argentina on Thursday, handed over to her mother at the San José de Pocitos international bridge. Authorities are still investigating potential links between the trafficking ring and a business called “El Faraón.” The full scope of the organization remains unclear.
