Police officers detained a 36-year-old Dushanbe resident on suspicion of human trafficking, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.
According to the department, the arrest was made during operational investigative activities.
As the investigation established, in September 2025, the suspect, having gained the trust of a 33-year-old resident of the city of Vahdat, took her to the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, promising a highly paid job.
However, as noted in the report, instead of the promised job, the woman was subjected to sexual exploitation.
Based on this fact, a criminal case has been opened against the suspect under Article 130, Appendix 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
