A gang of 30 Vietnamese, two Germans and Czech citizen were using several places in Berlin and in the States of Brandenburg and Saxony for trafficking at least 130 Vietnamese people via Russia and the Czech Republic. While their hideouts in Germany were used as a stop, the "shipment" was destined for France or the UK. According to the police the Dong Xuan Center, a large Asian market in Berlin, was playing a key role in the business.

Police arrested two Chinese men and a woman in Hanover. The trio had founded a firm to orchestrate their smuggling activities, according to criminal investigations. The three Chinese held in custody - aged 46, 38 and 35 - are thought to be the chief operators in the trafficking ring. For years, the traffickers are said to have smuggled more than 1,000 Chinese into Germany and to have exploited them in abusive working conditions. Chinese emigrants paid 10,000 euros ($14,000) for a valid visa and work contract as so-called specialty cooks. But upon arrival in Germany they were forced to surrender their passports, essentially putting them in "debt servitude," Frank Federau,spokesman for the Hanover State Office of Criminal Investigation said. The immigrants were made to work as chefs for up to 80 or 90 hours a week, at an hourly wage of 3 euros ($4.23). Their lack of German language skills made it difficult for the immigrants to complain. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4580456,00.html
