UBUSHINJACYAHA v. HAVYARIMANA
The accused's actions—recruiting, organizing, and transporting five individuals under false pretenses, instructing them to lie at the border, and seeking to derive benefit from their exploitation—constitute the completed offence of trafficking in persons under Rwandan law, not merely attempted trafficking. The intended benefit need not be realized for the offence to be complete.
