Abstract: Organized crime has a long history and has permanently adapted to the weaknesses of the legal system, procedures and operational capabilities of the national Law Enforcement Agencies. Economic discomfort appears to be the main reason for illegal migration movement throughout the world. Due to unemployment, many human beings become victims of trafficking- prostitution and slavery. Nevertheless, many of the willing migrants undertake the hazardous travel to their destination country with criminal syndicates services specialized in people smuggling. Psychological impact for the victims of human trafficking for prostitution is huge. For trafficked human beings there is a big trauma and finding the appropriate place back in society, housing, jobs it’s difficult to be addressed. The new developing democracies not always respond to this critical situation. Organized crime became a channel through which everything it’s possible to be achieved: by smuggling, influencing officials, getting visas, border crossing enjoying illegal deals , registering a stolen car, procuring forged documents/identity and organs donators. In Europe are spend yearly billions of Euro for prostitution and other commercial sexual services, which means that trafficking in human beings is a highly profitable business. The market-both legal and illegal- for commercial services is considered a major force driving trafficking.
