http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/31/world/europe/human-trafficking-arrests
Reports say that police working together from ten different countries, discovered one of the largest human trafficking rings. There was more than 100 people arrested on smuggling people illegally They did this in boats, hidden bus compartments and etc. It took 1,200 police officers to stop this human trafficking ring. The various locations included: France, Poland, Turkey and many other places.

During this enormous bust, 176,500 euros were discovered. In addition there were mobile phones, laptops, bank statements, weapons and ammunition. This evidence will be used in the case against them  in their trials. What happens to these victims is unclear, but they will be way from their traffickers. Through all this, their was good. The traffickers are off the streets and victims are away from their traffickers. In my eyes this is a win for the anti-human trafficking people. With the work of many task forces around the world, maybe we can discover more trafficking rings.
