The gangs who trade in people | DW Documentary – Blog

I like the sheer plain brutal exposure of problems in Europe by DW, by not downplaying them there’s a chance to make watchers aware and solve those problems. Kudos 👌

It’s so sad the pressure placed upon children by their parents to support a household/a burden they didn’t ask for 💔
Keaston Devitt
That lead investigator guy, Sebastian Laudan, is absolutely disgusting. How can he sit there and downplay the situation so nonchalantly. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he was involved in the whole scheme. It’s scary that people like him are in powerful positions.
Caroline Friedman
hard to hold people accountable for this kind of stuff when it’s usually people with a lot of power and geopolitical influence who are supporting this/letting it happen
DJ Flip-U
Has DW won any awards for its documentaries? It certainly deserves to.

This document is so informative. I wish many more Vietnamese people knew about this and could understand how serious the problem is. We need to raise awareness in Vietnam and EU.
Divine Reflections
This is sad and crazy….this driver is talking about them like they are possessions😡…no empathy or compassion…..he needs to be arrested too!
Feisal Dianga
It’s appalling that in the 21st century Europe and other parts of the world that child trafficking still exists and mostly go unnoticed by government officials, we need to put penalties on this human traffickers and to enforce law and order at every international borders
Amber Thomson
I can’t even wrap my mind around that man sitting there saying they weren’t on danger! If being raped and brutalized isn’t danger, then what exactly is? Furious!
Alienmädchen
“But nothing gets done if it is a young Vietnamese.” This made my blood boil. Gosh, I hate this kind of unfair preferential treatment. German kids aren’t the only ones who need help if they are in danger. I’m from Germany by the way.
Pearl Dunn
disgusting and disturbing that money can be the root of all evil. The childhood of any people forced into slavery is too sad to contemplate for us born into other cultures. May we evolve into being kinder, more caring humans who take the well fare of all into account. that is my wish and my prayer…

You know it’s a German production when there’s techno beats in a human trafficking documentary
Mleah
As I have been told by border controller who lives in Latvia, it’s quite difficult for them to report drug smugglers/human traficcers since they can get put in prison for reporting (by higher ups) and also at the same time they can get put in prison for letting trough border ppl who smuggle. Constant fear of getting in trouble either for having morals or trying to do everything to get wage to feed family.
Lindt
In the past few years, cases of child and human trafficking have skyrocketed in South Africa. I see at least 5 new posts of missing persons in a day. It’s horrifying because we don’t know the fate of the missing persons and we are in constant fear for ourselves and family members.
FunkyKiwi7
Thank you for sharing this documentary. It’s an eye opener for those of us living in places like New Zealand with no idea of the atrocities happening to these precious people within the greedy criminal commercial and political systems that exploit them. It’s heartbreaking to realize this is happening in broad daylight and under endless investigation that take years of their lives away. Germany’s “Sebastian” is a real tool. The organized criminals must really view him and his heartless sense of justice as a clear way to continue their deplorable trade in humans.
DAVID OMONDI ODENDO
Always waiting for DW documentaries. No one beats DW.
Nameless Hero
As a society we face a simple question. Do we embrace “slavery” or do we totally ban it. As it is, most of our products are made through some form of slavery, from the food we eat to the clothes we wear.
Mary
This is so disgusting! Pure evil to take advantage of children or people that are so vulnerable.
 
likexbread
You know… you’ll never hear anyone from the poor villages warning each other of the scams. There’s no signs anywhere warning anyone of human trafficking either. So the children are never aware it’s something that could happen to them. Both the European countries and Vietnam could do better in preventing human trafficking.
Andrew Kimani
These docs by DW make my life look like a cakewalk. People really go through horrible things in life.
Ruth C R
Pretty scary world that we live in. A lot of evil people out there. I hope front the bottom of my heart that all of the smugglers/ human traffickers and etc., etc. will be punished somehow throughout their life.
Chè's Channel
Thank you DW for another great documentary. It is so sad but true that this world is so materialistic and imbalance. Poor people still striving for a better life no matter how they have to pay for
B Bodziak
After watching this, take a moment to reflect on the final sentence spoken by the narrator (42:00): In 2019, there were only 7 cases of human trafficking in Germany Whether it’s the driver or the “master”, a 3 year prison sentence is far, far too little.
Pauline Williams
3years & 6months jail time!!! How can that ever be classed as a deterrent? Problem will definitely continue. I pity those poor kids/ young people 🥵🤬
Vladimir Olujic
Thanks very much for not only putting subtitles, but also translating/interpreting in English, so I can listen to these while working. It’s not easy to find time to watch every documentary.
Joan Berry
My heart breaks for all of these young girls!
Chanda Archuleta
I don’t know how someone can cause so much trauma and despair on a child’s life. Remember children do not stay children forever. They will remember those that have caused them harm. I hope that one day they will grow up and get their revenge.
B Bodziak
The problem is that there’s so much money involved in human trafficking and an endless supply of product available that I don’t see this being resolved in our lifetimes, unfortunately, especially for the victims.
Kay Grouse
Anje has no remorse, he disgusts me. Describing them as yellow and small shows how he still objectifies them and his racial undertones help “justify” in his mind his huge part in peadophilia and trafficking. Heartbreaking 💔
Chelsey Blair Kendig
condolences for the DW reporter who lost their life in Afghanistan this week
Dallas Taylor
Specifically to the point of cannabis and human smuggling, if the EU would create a legal framework for legal, above board, cannabis, all the entrepreneurs and otherwise law abiding citizens would support all efforts to avoid associating with such activities. There are great examples in the United States and even supplies that could contribute to trade and GDP. Cannabis being illegal in the EU is a major contributor to any corruption or endangerment. It forces a shadow economy.
RehanRC
A society is only as strong as its weakest link. Forced child labor should carry a death sentence punishment.
Duncan B.A.S
This is scandalous! How can this still happen today? Great Documentary.
B Bodziak
DW does such terrific documentaries that I’m puzzled as to why they don’t have the largest subscriber base on YouTube.

Sanne, please take good care of yourself. As I’m sure you realise already, these are very dangerous times to be an investigative journalist. Thank you for your diligence & bravery. Be sure to review your OPSEC on a regular basis both on & off work.
Wanderfull
Really good documentary about what is going on Europe and this was only about 1 country + imagine all other undetected trafficking?! Also the driver who worked for then before was racist and had no empathy/sympathy. He didn’t see the people and children as humans, just as a means to make money. He should be giving legal repercussions too. It’s people like him who enable all these gangs and trafficking.
thuy nguyen
I am a Vietnamese. And I understand that poor people they desire to go to Europe. With limited knowledge, they listen to the smugglers, and they believe in promises of traffickers. They were smuggled but at the same time they also need to pay money for them before leaving the country ( can be up to more than 100 million Vietnamdong). This is very sad stories but it hard to stop until the poor are well-educated, and understand that there is no easy way to earn money in Eu. Besides, its so sad when know that Vietnamese are selling Vietnamese
Derek M
This is just sad all the way round. Where I lived in Florida there was alot of trafficking from south America for sex workers and drugs. It was so common it was sickening and in nice neighborhoods too
Naomi Matthews
This documentary deserves an award. Could you please do a documentary on imported brides especially from African, who are held hostage and enslaved in Europe and the United states to take care of their mentally unstable supposed husbands with no proper documentation?
LAYMAN
Great job done by DW. Very very shocking video worth watching. My personal thanks to DW.

Damn. I have come across several job ads and offers like the one at 23:33. I applied for one in Poland and another in Dubai, both accepted, but my parents told me not to go. They did good, it could have been a trap!
Bravo Alpha
The thoughts of Government officials not recognizing these cases as human trafficking is the worst nightmare for us as parents and our children we dearly love… the Head of States and Congressmen should review/investigate these laws and gov officials… Dear Chancellor and Presidents please open your eyes and hearts for the CHILDREN
Yukie From Oz
No human being has a right to “own” another human being end of story. Disgusting!
Stefan Gabor
Unfortunately, with the increase in poverty around the world, these problems will only increase around the world. Can you imagine the pressure the parents of the deceased daughter will have to pay off their debt? It is a certainty that one of her siblings has to take on the debt.

I have a long lost vietnam brother whom I’ve never met because he was kidnapped from my mother before i was born by his father In the 80’s. God only knows my heart goes out to these children and teens.
Hei Nu Chung
When a man says he would never “hit one of them because it would kill one of them.” This means he has more than likely struck and killed one by “mistake” of course.
Wendell C
How these traffickers brought these poor people across the entirety of China and Russia, two of the most heavily policed countries in the world, is just mind-boggling
Lindt
I have seen first hand how easy it is to smuggle people in and out of a country in South Africa. The South African legal system has very strict laws to prevent the trafficking of minors but South African border officials would do anything for money. I’ve had multiple family members who temporarily wanted to leave the country with their own children who didn’t possess the required documentation and they’ve been able to do so quite easily, so long as they pay the right people. Border officials hardly ever check cars, when they do it’s usually because they want a bribe. Sometimes if the officials don’t want to help you directly, they refer you to smugglers that help you cross the border. In my case it was family members who wanted to go on vacation with their kids, but I can’t imagine how many other children are trafficked for sinister aims.

Human trafficking is one of major problem of the whole world. DW documentary are good steps that they made this documentary. This video wake up our society against human trafficking.
Abi Brown
the fact there is a demand from Germany for human trafficking in this case minors. It says a lot of how sick our world has become real sad state of affairs
Mariah McWilliams
This is brutally heartbreaking. How could this happen?
Vladimir Olujic
I believe it’s quite easy to identify these witnesses/victims, if you’re in the “business”. How safe is this for them afterwards? The shirt, the necklace, side profile… If those were not put and accented intentionally to confuse, it’s a bit problematic.

In Singapore, the penalty for kidnapping is life imprisonment. That approach should be adopted all over the world.

thank you for this documentary,i feels bad for them
Stephen Cooper
I am thankful that you dubbed this. It means a bigger audience. I know subs are a preference for people . But being dubbed you will get the story out more. Most people will turn off a subbed documentary . This needs to be heard. 👍

good job but this really should have been a 3 part series. its hard to understand how anyone would cross an ocean to chase promises in a distant land. but most of these human beings are economic refugees. unfortunately some fall to the cruel hands of subhumans who use them as human shields for their devious acts. 🙏🏿

Hmm, this video made me somewhat suspicious that I’ve encountered this. I’m handicapped and need personal assistance every day you see and recently I’ve had a fairly young vietnamese guy working here but yeah he was pretty terrible because he were obviously mentally disabled or something like that. But that accompanied with other oddities like only bringing blankets to sleep here and sometimes coming without food for the day just snacks or whatever along with how he’s apparently living with two or three brothers next to his parents home makes it seem like potential red flags all over. So i think I might casually try to make sure that it’s nothing because there’s also things that don’t really fit in. Like how he’s fluent with no reason to believe he wasn’t born here and probably never even been to Vietnam based on what I’ve heard and he’s definitely not one to work hard. So i dunno unless his parents are indeed his actual parents and the ones who are forced to pay somebody and the kids indirectly helping with that it doesn’t make a ton of sense to seriously suspect something is wrong.

I assume that the “funny” thing about this all is that the “authority’s” know whose doing this yet they do nothing to stop it. Must be a lucrative business all around, yeah ? As I’ve always preached, we all are just fodder to those who we depend upon for the well being of our very lives.

DW should translate this document into all available language and publish it on the all social media. There should be few movies about this human traffic ring – real story not science fiction.

So, smuggling is with rights! What hypocrisy is that the same countries with these definitions talk about children / women rights or human rights. Need of cheap labour is the best definition.

The sad truth is: governments cannot afford to uphold all laws. Even when children are involved. And if they increase any budget to improve situations in one area, they need to take it away and make things worse on another.
James Eddleman
“Most of them were boys, not many girls.” I just want that to sink in
Rossie Lucia Ramakhutla
That Sebastian Laudan guy needs to be fired, period! He doesn’t deserve that position that he’s occupying. They need to appoint a sober and realistic person who doesn’t live in denial. He’s denial and ignorance is so gross that one tends to start thinking that he himself is involved in the trafficking. I have not seen such kind of ignorance & denial from a lead investigator of a police force!
Huan Bui
Vietnamese here, both the family and the kid already know what they will do in Europe. We all knew that most of them working in weed farm, whoever made it their family in Vietnam had much better life than other in their village and will became examples to encourage other family send their member to Europe. We all known what we a signing for.

It’s disgusting how adrej was basically describing them like cattle – “you can’t tell with them if they’re young or old”, “they’re all yellow with black hair”, “they all look the same” – the same old tropes Europeans have of anyone who’s racialized, and why basically these lives are not even noticed when they’re lost. And totally disgusting that the Berlin police don’t even believe that the people being trafficked are minors – as if that were somehow the only issue! If the people being trafficked aren’t European, then the traffickers basically don’t even have to pay for their crimes. Since when is 3 and a half years sufficient punishment for putting people into slavery and probably also murdering some of them!
petrockish
Dear DW, i love your documentaries, but as network of one of the founding countries of the EU, you should really know that Council of Europe and European Council are not synonymous First, to which the interviewed gentleman works for, is a human rights organisation while the latter is an intergovernmental part of the EU itself..

In the end of 90s and up to 05, UK and Ireland was eastern European ‘dream’ destination country as these country’s where finnaly free from USSR and wanted to live normal life… There where lot’s and lot’s of people who was tricked into ‘modern slavery’ – as they arrived in the job site their passports taken as leverage so they couldn’t leave and where just slaved for 12-14h/day for minimal wage(that wasn’t as advertised) and people couldn’t get out because they didn’t know country, it’s laws, nor proper English language… Now eastern Europeans are smart enough, so it’s Germany’s turn to ‘host’ vulnerable this time Vietnamese people who just seek better life and believe on every word. But the scheme is the same…

Slavery or not, how are these youngsters are in a foreign land — with what papers/visas? Their local owners — are they not liable for “hiring” “illegals”? What am I supposed to think about the every nail salon in my city (monopoly) that is fully staffed with Asian women of various ages, different English-speaking ability, and a guy at the cash register? I stopped going after 2-3 times. I pay more to a single manicurist in a full-service hair salon with people of the ethnic mix reflecting my area. Something that feels normal. Asian nail salons, no matter how many doors they opens doors fans running, impossible to breathe in. How these women work there for hours is beyond me. Are these women here legally? Who is looking? Who is checking? Are these salons creating an unfair competition to the local entrepreneurs?

What is the silver lining to this sad reality? Are the lives of the “victims/family of victims” in any way improved? The focus of this doc is the exploitative arrangement.

The documentary is brilliant, and it covered POV from different parties. However, I find one significant voice is missing. What is Vietnamese authority doing? Surely they are aware of human trafficking crisis. If they can stop the criminals from baiting the Vietnamese and taking them abroad, surely they won’t end up in European countries.

the law they are stateing here about not reporting to the police about the vietnamese children getting smuggeld is for all the lawyers. its actually a state law that even survives in sweden where it says “as long as u have roof above ur head and food u are safe” the situation percay has no meaning its a wormhole for the smuggelers and the state. as they get most of their economics/resources go around this way.

People themselves want to travel West for better life and good money so blaming only smugglers is not fair. People entering illegally are very much aware what they are getting into. Equally responsible are they and their families, only blaming traffickers is not fair

“… the Pen of the Centre of the covenant[Abdu’l-Bahá(The servant of the glory of God)]has repeatedly prophesied the intolerable calamities which must beset, this wayward humanity ere it heeds the life-giving Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh(The promised one of all ages).” “Chaos and confusion are daily increasing in the world. They will attain such intensity as to render the frame of mankind unable to bear them. Then will men be awakened and become aware that religion (The Bahá’í’ Faith) is impregnable stronghold and the manifest light of the world, and its laws, exhortations and teachings the source of life on earth.” (Shoghi Effendi-Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 126)

This never happened in China. In fact, no homeless in China because their state government bring everyone and lifted them to the middle class after 40 years of economic struggle. Free education, housing units, healthcare, life insurance, basic food and commodities are cheap and very affordable to all. Free broadband, electricity, subsidized apartments for factory workers from the provinces.

I am confused when you say that the children come to the hospital for medical care and then they “disappear” . Are u saying that the people at the hospital are co-conspirators in the child trade or are you saying that they dissapear because the facility has no security and people go in and out as they please? Either way, it sounds like there is a lot of corruption taking place and everyone is turning a blind eye. Can anyone walk out of that hospital with a baby??????

Said. Vietnam is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. many of those children would have a better future in their country but criminals lie to them about how great is life in Europe and how quickly they can earn lots of money

I have always wanted not to see such videos because such traffickers are like demons

People would sell any think even there grandmother if they could , selling children or hiring used for slavery should carry a death sentence as imprisonment and fining just continues criminal actions . It’s the same with many criminal catchings , people reoffend continuously that helps circulation of criminal activities because of law policies there to weak and the jobs and money that’s made is on going never ending .

Days in those warehouses = the plight of our farm animals in agribusiness. Both wrong.

If the authorities are not part of the solution, then their the problem. . . An integral element in the trafficking operation. . . I believe in the death penalty.

Serious question: Who is responsible for all the “massage parlors” in the US? All Asian women. I can’t believe that’s the career they chose.

What’s a good fight? The Lord’s sorrow At one time, some Pharisees came to the Lord and said to him,” leave this place and go somewhere else. The herodians want to kill you He replied, go tell the foxes, I drive out demons and heal ppl today and tomorrow and ON the third day What’s the meanings? A good fight How to perceive demons and evil spirits in someone (capacity) Someone could look good ON the outside What’s for the Lord and not

I wish humans don’t go to mars they will make mars just like earth. They won’t do any good going there.

I really like your documentaries, and this one is good and important. but the soundtrack is really inappropriate. What’s the connection between techno music and a docu about such a horrific story about human trafficking. you really need to do something about your music department, bc it’s not the first time.

If it’s okay for humans to trade in animal lives why is it not okay for them to trade in human lives?

the punishment for those human traffickers were too light, which was why the illegal human trafficking can’t be curbed.

Maximum punishment should be sentenced to these traffickers. 3 yrs will not teach them lessons.

It seems like the german head of investigation (the bald guy) is taking the side of smugglers and trying to justify their actions by blaming the victims. How on the earth did he get his job?
