"Fleshpack is an invisible, “ghost” corporation,
packing and trafficking humans. No one knows where it is based,
who its personnel are, or how it acts. Legal authorities - even
when in the event of an accident, they manage to impound the means
of transportation or the “goods” themselves - never
succeed in reaching deeper than that, in establishing the company's
true identity and make-up and in bringing it down. They resort
to simply prosecuting singled-out individuals to appease public
opinion. Most of the times those who have been held responsible
mysteriously disappear."
