Operation Koolvis
Court clears Nigerian people smugglers of human trafficking
The biggest case ever brought against a people-smuggling ring in the Netherlands went sour, when a court in Zwolle failed to convict a gang of Nigerian smugglers of the more serious charge of human trafficking.

A new interrogation method used by police was the main reason the case went sour. Dutch police developed its new method to persuade scared victims into giving statements To sooth their fears of magical retribution, police and prosecution brought in an African cleric, who tried to convince the women that the God would prove stronger than the heathen magic used by the smugglers. Police also introduced suspected victims to a women who had herself been a victim of human trafficking, allowing her to tell them her personal story. With this outside help, police were successful in extracting statements from some of the victims.

The judges also slammed the prosecution for not following the protocol for interrogations , thus preventing undue influencing of witnesses’ statements. The defence lawyer called the accounts of the witnesses "prefabricated statements from the prosecution's victim factory.” Another lawyer called the witnesses "alleged victims who have been coaxed into a statement by dangling a residence permit in front of them".
