Czech detained in India as part of human trafficking probe

A Czech film producer who has been detained by Indian authorities for allegedly organising human trafficking to Europe is the innocent victim of a fraud, the local Czech embassy has said. The Czech has been imprisoned in connection with a local investigation into an Indian company that used film making as a cover for illegal immigration. The Czech producer was sent to open negotiations about cooperation with the company. An Indian court is now waiting to decide if the Czech is an innocent victim or was involved in human trafficking.
