Breaking News – The German watchdog investigates a company, engaging in human organ trade.

On Tuesday the 13th of November, Frankfurt Procurator in Germany searched the liaison office of German and Chinese Medical Service Company in Frankfurt, which provides organ transplant service. A staff in charge of this case told the journalist that the company had been engaged in a worldwide illegal organ trade.

The Frankfurt Procuratorate will investigate the business operation of the entity in Germany. The Procuratorate in Frankfurt launched the search once Channel Two of the German Television broadcasted a program on Frontal 21 on Tuesday about the company’s operation in the global human organ trade. The production team of the channel discovered an immense global network that deals in human organ trade during their process of on-site shooting and investigation that lasted four weeks. This so-called “German Chinese Medical Company” acts as a go-between in the network operation with its trader behind the scene headquartered in Hong Kong.

The official of the World Health Organization, Luc Noel said during an interview by the Channel Two of the German Television that currently many agents like the German and Chinese Medical Company are set up and running the organ trade worldwide.
“German and Chinese Medical Company” has shut down its website with no one attending the office that used to claim “it has close connections with various hospitals in China, enjoying a colossal network of liaison for the most updated information on each and every potential brain dead patients. Hence, this network of information drastically reduces the waiting period of patients who are seeking for organs for transplants, such as “ the waiting period could be as short as a few days or two weeks at most.”

According to the regulations of German laws, the human organs are barred from trades. All practices involved in the organ trade are illegal and punitive by law. Even the law enforcement in this scenario extends to those patients who accepted the organs for transplants, and face an imprisonment term for five years at most.
