  • What I already know???

    I knew that Europe was a part of a slave trade involving Asia and Africa. I knew that when your predicting your guessing whats going to happen next by the facts that your given.
  • Authors Purpose

    The author purpose was to inform the readers about an illegal operartion that caused over one hundred people to be arrested.
  • 1st main point

    Human trafficking makes about $32 billion a year. Some people are saying that this may be the biggest operations invovling human trafficking.
  • 2nd main point

    Police in Europe arrest 103 people in 10 different countries. It took about 1200 police officers to make all of the arrest.
  • 3rd main point

    The majority of those being smuggled were coming from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria and Turkey. Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar buisness.
  • Prediction#2

    I predict that the human traffickers aren't going to stop smuggling people into other countries because it's going to put a stop to the money that they are earning from the operation.
  • Prediction#1

    I predict that alot more people will be arrested for human trafficking because the police are continueing their investigation.
  • Prediction#3

    I predict that the people that control the operation will start to lose money because the officers arrested some of the workers.
  • More Facts

    The police confiscated 250,000 dollars worth of euros, a collection of cell phones,laptops, banks statements, a rifles along with a large amont of ammunition.
  • More facts..

    A link attached to my article showed me some facts about a global alliance against forced labour, it said that forced labourers might not testify because they are afraid of the coincequences.
  • Why are my predictions accurate??#2

    If this operation made billions of dollars a year the owner of the operation isn't going to just stop smuggling migrants into other countries, that will stop them from making money.
  • Why are my prediction accurate??#1

    The evidence in the article shows how serious that this is and that police/investigators aren't going to stop investigating these operations. 117 houses were searched during these arrest.
  • Why are my predictions accurate??#3

    It was previously said before that there are billions of dollars being made from this operation therefore if the workers are being arrested then that will lead to their income decreasing.
