Police said that the gang would collect PLN 4,000 monthly from each of “a few” sex workers, adding that the group may also have dealt in human trafficking, with at least one of the prostitutes being traded between gang members.
Police said that the seven may face up to 15 years in jail and more people may be detained in an ongoing investigation into the gang. (vb)
