Spanish police arrest woman for allegedly selling her own children
Spanish authorities have arrested six people, including a Spanish woman, in a joint operation conducted by the National Police and the Civil Guard against a suspected minor trafficking network. The operation focused on several locations in Badajoz, Montijo, and Linares.
According to police sources, the primary suspect allegedly gave birth at her home to avoid civil registry records and subsequently sold at least four of her own children to other families in exchange for money. Investigators believe the proceeds were used to fund drug consumption. The investigation is currently under judicial secrecy as authorities work to determine the exact roles of the other five detainees and identify any further victims.
This operation follows a significant police presence in the La Luneta neighborhood of Badajoz, where specialized units, including the Family and Women’s Support Unit (UFAM), carried out extensive searches.
