# A coordinated international crackdown on human trafficking has led to the identification of two-thousand-and-70 victims, the arrest of one-thousand-and-24 suspects, and the launch of 465 investigations. Operation Global Chain, coordinated by Interpol, brought together law enforcement from 59 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe in June. It targeted trafficking networks involved in sexual exploitation, forced labour, criminality, and coerced begging. Interpol says it found an emerging trend of Latin American victims being trafficked for forced labour in Europe, with about ten-percent of identified victims being minors.
