Summary
On a cold December evening in 2016 a terrified young woman turns up at a brothel in Germany with a French passport but doesn’t speak a word of French. The owner is suspicious and alerts the German authorities, igniting a groundbreaking and history-making global investigation where ancient rituals collide with the modern world of crime fighting.
From RAW, the producers of hits such as The Tinder Swindler, Three Identical Strangers and Don't F**k With Cats, as well as Audible Original, The Second Victim, comes a fast-paced, gripping true crime podcast, CURSED, presented by British-Nigerian journalist Femi Oke (CNN/Aljazeera), with an original score and sound design by South African music producer and DJ, Esa Williams.
Some of the content may be disturbing to some listeners - involving accounts of physical and sexual violence, suicidal thoughts and intense human suffering. So please take care when listening.

Gripping
Primitive barbaric and appalling. To think these people are coming to Europe and my country is frightening. Glad that downright evil woman was caught. Terrible animal abuse too.
