Large‑scale human trafficking and sexual exploitation operation foiled in Boca Chica
Authorities dismantle a human‑trafficking and sexual‑exploitation ring in Boca Chica, rescuing 37 victims and arresting six suspects.
In a coordinated multi‑agency offensive known as “Operation Caribbean,” the Dominican Attorney General’s Office, supported by the National Police and the National Drug Control Agency (DNCD), targeted a human‑trafficking and sexual‑exploitation network in the tourist town of Boca Chica, located about 30 minutes east of Santo Domingo. The operation took place between the night of 28 March and the early morning of 29 March 2026. Raids on several establishments led to the rescue of 37 victims and the arrest of six individuals linked to the illicit operation. The bust underscores persistent concerns over organized crime and exploitation in and around major tourist hubs.
