On Wednesday, the policemen of the Craiova Organized Crime Brigade, together with DIICOT prosecutors – Craiova Territorial Service, conducted two house searches in the framework of the case opened for human trafficking.
According to a statement sent by DIICOT, the woman, in a difficult situation from a financial point of view, but also from a health point of view, was taken by the doctor to his home and then became a housekeeper not only for him, but also for other members of his family, without being paid for her services.
