Seven pimps believed to have forcefully orchestrated a prostitution ring in Tel Aviv using women from Eastern Europe were arrested following an extended undercover investigation, police said Monday.

While details of the case remain under a gag order, the arrests and searches were carried out recently by a central unit of the Israel Police, in cooperation with the Immigration Authority, on suspicion of bringing women from abroad to Israel for prostitution and pimping.

The seven unidentified suspects were arraigned Monday afternoon at Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, where a judge is expected to extend their remand amid the ongoing investigation.
