A major crackdown. The National Police discovered two human eyeballs during an operation conducted in 67 Ha Sud on Wednesday. Officers from the 7th Arrondissement police station had been alerted to the presence of two men posing as human organ traffickers, specifically targeting eyes from individuals with albinism.
The suspects were apprehended at a local hotel, where police also seized a machete.
The two individuals were taken to the Judicial Police Directorate in Anosy for further investigation. The inquiry aims to determine the origin of the recovered organs and establish potential links to other similar cases.
This arrest comes one month after an operation by the Presidential Guard in the Betroka district, during which about ten people were arrested for organ trafficking and imprisoned in Tsiafahy. In that case, a 20-month-old child had been kidnapped, and their eyes were removed after death to be sold for 400 million Ariary.
