A GUARDIA Civil investigation revealed a woman was being forced to have sexual relationships against her will and to oversee a drugs sales point in Roquetas de Mar. Investigators had gathered evidence pointing to the location being used for prostitution and the sale of illegal substances, a raid confirming the suspicions. What’s more, it turned out the woman was made to pay a €10 commission for each client, as well as to sell drugs and alcohol. A search of the premises led to the seizure of marijuana, nearly 150 condoms and lubricants. A 54-year old is under arrest on charges of crimes against public health and human trafficking. The Guardia is searching for a 28-year old identified as H.E.A. in connection with the case.
