Trafficking in human beings - Case study
Iva Milković
Sažetak
The topic of human trafficking implies dealing with one of the biggest global problems of today. The paper analyzes the criminal offense of trafficking in human beings as one of the most serious forms of human rights violations through detailed criminal processing and the course of the proceedings. The empirical part of the paper relies on a qualitative research method of case study, and as a source of data the files of the Municipal Criminal Court in Zagreb were used. The manner of committing the criminal offense, filing a criminal report and criminal prosecution were presented. The aim of the research was to answer questions related to human trafficking and the application of criminal prosecution against those involved in human trafficking. The analysis of the specific case sought to obtain a profile of victims of trafficking, to determine the reasons for trafficking and the methods used by traffickers and their connection at the international level. Statistically, in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, a small number of victims of human trafficking have been identified, who were mainly exploited for illegal work or for the provision of sexual services, but the dark number is certainly far higher. Due to the small number of available court cases, the paper analyzes a case that contains transnational elements of this criminal offense. Despite the age of the case and the fact that it was opened in 2004 (and finalized in 2015), the analyzed case shows typical features representative of this criminal offense.
