Teens travel to the region for a massive rave festival and then disappear

Back in the day, you would hear stories about teens being kidnapped on streets and sold to some wealthy man in the Middle East. Apparently now the way to do it is to have the teens travel to the region for a massive rave festival and then disappear. One eastern European country says they have reports of 40-50 missing teens from that country, who have now been reported as missing.

The irony is the force they helped create to this end is itself guilty of trafficking. 

This leader has been much vilified in the press. The roots of this go back to when he first attained his position (2015). Prior to this, the position had been held by a close family member. After the leader took the position, he was approached privately by the representatives of a number of the world’s most wealthy and powerful interests. They wanted to continue the arrangement they had with the family member before him.
