Peru Investigates Alleged Trafficking of Citizens into Russia-Ukraine War

Lima: Peruvian authorities have launched an investigation into an alleged human trafficking network accused of recruiting citizens to fight for Russia in the war in Ukraine.

Prosecutors say victims were lured with false promises of well-paid jobs in Russia, only to be forced into military service once they arrived.

Officials warned that many Peruvians may have been deceived by these schemes, highlighting growing concerns over exploitation linked to the ongoing conflict.

The probe is part of broader efforts to dismantle trafficking networks and protect citizens from being drawn into foreign conflicts under false pretences.

Authorities are continuing to gather evidence and identify those responsible, amid rising global concern over similar recruitment patterns targeting vulnerable individuals.
