Veniamin Gonikman, the member of an international conspiracy that smuggled woman from Eastern Europe into the U.S. and forced them to work at exotic dance clubs in Detroit, pleaded guilty in a federal court in Detroit on Tuesday, The Oakland Press reported.
"This conviction brings the final member of this human trafficking ring to justice. These defendants treated human beings like a commodity, enticing Eastern European women to come to the United States illegally, then exploiting them for commercial advantage,” said U.S Attorney Barbara McQuade.
