Two men charged with human trafficking on trial

Two men charged with human trafficking went on trial at a court in Ostrava on Monday. The two defendants, aged 32 and 24, face prison sentences of up to twelve years. They are suspected of having forced seven females, one of them underage, into prostitution between 2008 and 2009. The prostitutes operated out of private apartments that the two men rented. One of the two defendants attempted to commit suicide while under arrest prior to the trial.
