SISAK -- A couple from the Croatian town of Sisak is suspected of selling their 15-year-old daughter for a total of EUR 1,080. Police believe that the parents gave their child away in exchange for a horse they had bought - which was valued at EUR 675 - and for EUR 405 in cash. The girl was sold into forced labor and taken to a farm owned by a man and his son in the village of Orle. The two showed up in Sisak last month to collect the girl, said reports. All four suspects have been arrested and charged with human trafficking.
