The pimps who operated the business earned between $1,500 and 2,000 pesos, reports the FGE.
They promised the foreign victims to regularize their immigration status, so they forced them to continue in that place. The criminals threatened the women with reporting their illegal stay in the country.
After executing the search warrant at the establishment, the authorities rescued nine Mexican women, seven Colombians, and two Argentines.
The FGE indicated that, during the operation, the participating police officers managed to capture Juan Carlos N and Julio Matías N, both Mexican and in charge of the victims at that time.
