Icelandic man held on suspicion of human trafficking.
An Icelandic man has been arrested in the capital Reykjavík on suspicion of trafficking women into sexual exploitation. A Brazilian woman was arrested for soliciting for sex in local hotels, but after being questioned, she was deported. If this woman had indeed been trafficked, then not only will she be in danger of being re-trafficked, she will also not be able to testify against the man, should she want to. A second Brazilian woman has been questioned, but it is not know if she has been involved in prostitution. Police in Iceland now suspect that some foreign women who are engaged in prostitution may have been trafficked – an activity the man they are questioning could have been involved with.
