organ trafficker

Illicit transplant supplier

An organ trafficker is someone who trades illegally in human organs, typically kidneys, livers, or other transplantable body parts.

The trade exploits vulnerable people—the desperately poor who sell organs, or victims who have organs harvested without consent.

Authorities arrested an organ trafficker who had been targeting refugees.
