Alcúdia: Raid exposes forced prostitution – five arrests, eight women freed

Answer

Why are raids alone not enough to stop prostitution trafficking in Mallorca?

Raids can free victims and arrest suspects, but they do not remove the conditions that allow networks to operate. Poverty, online recruitment, local demand and weak financial tracing all help the system continue. Long-term prevention, victim protection and financial investigations are needed as well.
