German mass raids target forced prostitution gang

More than 100 people have been detained across Germany in raids against an organised crime gang involved in people trafficking and forced prostitution. 

Germans and Thais were among those held as police commandos targeted dozens of brothels and flats in 12 states. 

Hundreds of women and men fell prey for years to the traffickers' inhuman, boundless greed.  
 
Seventeen suspects were believed to be at the heart of the crime gang.
