All about Caught in the Web: The Murders Behind Zona Divas
Trending
The show is about how a human trafficking ring made use of Zona Divas as its cover for its illicit operation. Behind what seemed like an innocuous website offering escort services lay something far darker.
The Zona Divas Website
Zona Divas was initially marketed as a service that would make s*x workers more visible; thus, they charged them for advertising on the site. Women were asked to pay a membership fee in addition to signing a contract that included no se*ual exploitation. The truth was much more sinister.
This gang lured many women with promises of valid jobs from countries such as Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela. On their arrival in Mexico City, they fell victim to se*ual exploitation among other extortionate means and abuse. Most of them had their passports confiscated and were obliged through the threat of violence to work as escorts.
The Murders
This series justifies the sad tales of several females who became victims of these exploitations and had to lose their lives. Amongst them, Brenda and Candice are the only two who managed to escape from Zona Divas, but that was quite challenging for them.
Wendy Cortes, Genesis, and Karen did not get that opportunity; they were brutally murdered by one of Zona Divas' clients or accomplices. Their murders exhibited the extreme levels of risk associated with being in such a predicament.
The series also encompasses the story of Andreina, who, in trying to get away from the exploitation, was murdered as an act of retaliation; Kenni was killed by a hired assassin who for a long period had blackmailed and tortured her.
The Investigation and Aftermath
However, among the most depressing things that come out of Caught in the Web: The Murders Behind Zona Divas is how thoroughly ineffective the Mexican police have been at dealing with these crimes. Even after multiple arrests, including that of Soni and different hitmen, the justice system has been slow, and even in many such cases, totally incapable of responding to that.
The ignominy also was that Soni had been arrested on a similar s*x trafficking operation once but managed to wriggle his way out of significant legal sentences. The corruption and inefficiency embedded with the law administration as shown in the documentary hampered specific action against them.
