Five defendants were charged with participating in an organized criminal group for the purpose of trafficking in persons. Each defendant was charged with having a specific function in the group for facilitating the entry of several Dominican women into Chile.

Four of the defendants were found guilty, and imprisoned for various amounts of time depending on their position within the criminal organization.
