Zwi Migdal was a criminal organization formed by Jewish immigrants from Poland in the late 19th century. The group controlled extensive prostitution and human trafficking networks in Argentina, Brazil, and other countries. Police investigations in June 1930 led to arrests and convictions, but many members were released early, sparking public outrage and prompting legal reforms. The case highlights historically documented crime within a specific ethnic community and remains an important, though often overlooked, part of history.
