The complaint, signed by 44 women, was filed two years ago. They accused Opus Dei of recruiting girls and adolescents. The order assured them of a good education, but the reality is that these girls had to work long hours to meet the needs of the men of the order.
The Argentine justice has formally charged the case four religious of Opus Dei of practices trafficking in women and labor exploitation. The complaint was filed by 44 women what were captured for Opus being minors And subjected to a regime of semi-slavery in their homes.
The complaint, filed two years ago, accused Opus Dei of recruiting girls and adolescents, always in poor neighborhoods. The order assured them of a good education, but the reality is that these girls had to work long hours to meet the needs of the men of the order. They claim they never received any training or salary for it.
The indictment against the accuser includes four people, a priest and three former pastors. Of the 44 complainants, 40 remained outside the case because they left the organization before the Human Trafficking Act, under which the process was designed, came into effect in 2008. In any case, the victims demand that Opus Dei apologize.
The accusations of the Argentine legal system could lead to the initiation of similar lawsuits in other countries.
