Native of Ukraine arrested for child trafficking in Georgia

A woman, native of Ukraine, has been arrested for child trafficking in Georgia, - the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports.

The detention took place in one of the hospitals of Kutaisi on April 25.

Woman faces prison term from 14 to 17 years if convicted.

The investigation established that the woman arrived in Georgia together with 10 children from Russia on April 8 and was going to move to the occupied territory of Abkhazia.

All the ten juveniles are the woman’s children and have the woman’s surname. However, 4 of the children were born in 2017, which raised suspicions of trafficking. Interrogation of witnesses revealed that the woman was aggressively treating the children, which became a ground for issuing a restraining order.
