The operation, which concluded on June 17, 2026, put an end to the activities of a criminal network predominantly made up of Chinese nationals. The organization lured women from their home country through deception, financing their travel to Spain and creating a debt that they were forced to repay through prostitution.
Victims were housed in apartments and massage parlors disguised as legitimate businesses. There, they were sexually exploited and subjected to conditions of "semi-slavery," constantly monitored by security cameras accessible to the network's leader.

The police operation involved eight simultaneous raids in Los Barrios, Marbella, Estepona, and Dos Hermanas, with over fifty officers participating. Approximately 100,000 euros in cash were seized, and 22 bank accounts were frozen.
In addition to cash and frozen accounts, movable and immovable assets were embargoed, bringing the total value of the intervention to around 900,000 euros. The network used advertisements on specialized websites and forced victims to move continuously between properties to increase demand and profits.
