Sources tell News 5 that the man and woman, believed to be involved in taking bribes to allow foreign sex trade workers to enter Belize, will be charged on Wednesday in Magistrates Court. It is not clear whether they will be arrested under the newly minted human trafficking legislation or some less exotic offences like bribery and extortion.
