Provisional prison for the mother and two others arrested in the alleged child trafficking scheme in Badajoz

In Badajoz, a woman was arrested for allegedly selling her children to fund her drug addiction. Three individuals, including the mother, are in provisional detention as part of an investigation into the sale of minors. The operation, initiated in April, revealed that at least three children were sold between 2023 and 2025, with involvement from various parties. The police located six children, some in Portugal and others in Badajoz and Linares, while also seizing weapons and documentation related to the case. The mother, who was living in Zafra, was reportedly involved in prostitution and drug use, and had given birth to some children without official registration.
