LONDON: A female trafficking boss was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Thursday for using the threat of witchcraft to exert control over almost 40 women and girls brought from Nigeria to Europe for *** work, a British court prosecutor said.
Franca Asemota, 38, was found guilty of conspiracy to traffic persons for ***ual exploitation, trafficking persons outside of the UK for ***ual exploitation, and assisting unlawful migration.
Isleworth Crown Court in west London heard that Asemota was part of a criminal network that trafficked girls, boys and women to Europe, using the threat of "juju magic" and rituals with curses to exert control over her victims.
Prosecutor David Davies said Asemota targeted girls from poor, rural backgrounds with little k**wledge of the world, promising them legitimate jobs in Europe between August 2011 and May 2012. "Only when they were far away from their homes were they told the truth - that they would have to work as prostitutes," Davies said in a statement.
