According to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of National Police Agency, Ministry of the Interior, the human trafficking ring has relocated its criminal base from Cambodia to Georgia at the crossroads of West Asia and Eastern Europe in order to avoid investigation. However, the local area is a hotbed for fraud, including red wine and surrogacy scams. When recruiting victims, the fraudulent group made false claims that the company was an online business with thousands of employees and complete benefits, etc., and used the beautiful European environment as an inducement to trick the victims into being fooled. The Criminal Investigation Bureau urges people to be on the lookout.
