Police arrested on Saturday six people on charges of forming a gang specialised in trading human organs.
A force from Cairo’s security directorate arrested a husband and wife as well as four other associates who ran the criminal ring in southern Cairo’s Basateen neighbourhood persuading people to sell their organs for money through an unlicensed medical centre, according to a statement from the Ministry of Interior.
The husband’s apartment was the operation headquarters of the ring where they gathered victims and provide medical care for them before and after surgeries.
The suspects were arrested along with two donors.
