Two children of a woman detained in Spain for trafficking minors located in Portugal

Two children of a woman arrested in Spain for alleged involvement in a child trafficking network have been found in Portugal and placed in care centers. The woman was detained in Montijo, Badajoz, along with three others linked to the crime. Two of the detainees were released after a joint operation by Spanish police and the Portuguese GNR. During searches, authorities seized a stolen shotgun and a sawed-off weapon. The ongoing investigation involves charges of child trafficking, criminal association, and illegal possession of firearms. Authorities are also looking into whether the woman was coerced into having children for sale and if more minors are involved.
