A top German law enforcement official has warned of a climbing number of human trafficking cases in the country with an 11-percent rise in the figure.

“Over the course of the last five years, the number of investigations has risen continuously from 317 to 534. This means an increase of 70 percent over five years and 11 percent last year alone. We attach great importance to this form of criminal activity because the human dignity of the victims is violated,” said Jorg Ziercke, the Chief Commissioner of the Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany, Press TV reported Monday.

Thousands of people are illegally transported each year around the world, where they are sold as prostitutes, forced laborers and even exploited as organ donors, according to the report.
