In Madrid, nine people have been arrested for smuggling Nigerian girls into Spain and forcing them to work as prostitutes.

They allegedly tricked the girls with phony job offers and then forced them to turn tricks to pay off outlandish debts the girls were said to have incurred.

The gang kept the girls from ratting them out by threatening them with voodoo spells – telling them horrible things would happen to them and their families if they did not stay quiet.
