Human Trafficking Unit to Disband
Nov. 10, 2008
A London police unit dedicated to tackling human trafficking will close after the Home Office withdrew £2.3m funding support.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed the Human Trafficking Team will disband in April 2009.
Critics say the unit is vital to protecting vulnerable men, women and children who are sold or lured into the sex trade, slavery or illegal working.
