  • Human trafficking is one of the criminal phenomena that generates the most profits for organised crime. Despite the above,the scale of its economic dimension is often overshadowed bythe preponderance of the victimological perspective on whichpublic policies aimed at dismantling these groups are designed.This leads to an entrenched legal perversion, such as the lucrative impunity derived from the lack of measures to intervene inthe profits that have been made from the suffering and pain ofothers. This is a responsibility directly attributable to the specificlegal operators in charge of handling these procedures. In the Canary Islands, human trafficking offers a melting pot of victimisa-tion profiles. This paper aims to document the judicial reality ofNigerian women freed in trafficking contexts and the criminal instruments adopted in judicial decisions to trace the illicit profitsgenerated in this unique context: proportional fine, confiscationand civil liability arising from the offence. There is a structuralflaw in the legal and institutional approach to the phenomenon.It is important to become aware of this serious problem to be ableto adequately compensate the released victims and to agree onthe confiscation of the illicit profits generated, which are not evenminimally outlined in the resolution. On the other hand, there isalso no reference to the assets acquired by the convicted personsduring the period of exploitation of their victims.
