A criminal group involved in baby trafficking was exposed in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to official information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan, reported by Polisia.kz, during rapid operations conducted in various regions of the country, a group that exploited the difficult circumstances of young mothers and urged them to sell their newborn babies was dismantled.
