It is clear from global trends that commercial surrogacy targets the poorest women to exploit. Since the economic depression of 2008 criminal gangs have turned to women as a resource in Greece. In September 2019 ‘news broke of the dismantling of an organised crime group involved in illegal adoptions, egg-selling and commercial surrogacy in Thessaloniki, Greece. An eight-month-long secret investigation by Greek law enforcement authorities, supported by Interpol, led to the arrest of 22 people suspected of engaging in a criminal network of assisted reproduction’.
