Egypt says organ-trafficking network uncovered
CAIRO — Egypt’s official anti-corruption body says it has uncovered a network for human organ trafficking, including physicians whom it said exploited the victims’ poverty in persuading them to sell their organs.
The so-called Administrative Control Body described the network as the “largest international network for trafficking.” It also said on Tuesday that a large amount of dollars and Egyptian pounds, as well as jewelry, was confiscated as authorities raided a total of 10 medical centers.
