Trial Opens for 7 Kosovars in Organ-Trafficking Case
" The suspects are accused of luring victims from Turkey and former Communist countries to Pristina to sell their kidneys with false promises of payments of up to €15,000, or nearly $20,000.
"The recipients, according to the indictment, paid between €80,000 and €100,000 for the organs."
This case seems to be different from but related to the much more disturbing accusations related to war crimes:
"The case has been connected with an inquiry by the Council of Europe released this January, which found that a criminal group of Kosovo Liberation Army fighters had executed Serbian and Albanian prisoners and sold their organs on the international black market. The report said that the so-called Drenica Group was led by Hashim Thaci, the current prime minister of Kosovo."
