BERLIN—Two suspects were arrested in Germany and Slovakia in raids Monday on a group accused of smuggling Vietnamese into Germany and other European countries for large fees that they had to work off in massage parlors, brothels, and other places, authorities said.
Police in Berlin arrested a Vietnamese woman who lives in the German capital, while a Slovak woman was detained in Bratislava. They were alleged to be part of a larger group of suspects—several Vietnamese, one German, and two Slovaks—that brought Vietnamese people to Europe on fraudulently obtained visas.
