Bar raided for human trafficking and prostitution was burned down

One out of the 3 bars raided last weekend to dismantle a trafficking in women and prostitution network was partially burned down after a fire on Tuesday.

It was Los Horcones bar, located in La Fortuna de San Carlos. According to the Fire Department report, the structure of the 800-square-meter building was 40% consumed by the flames.

So far, it has not been possible to determine the cause of the fire.
