A Greek police probe of human egg theft uncovered repeated instances of trafficking in human genetic tissue at a clinic on the island of Crete that had once been a hub of the international fertility trade.

The national police said it had identified “75 cases with 11 victims” in which eggs and sperm were trafficked without the knowledge of the donors or the recipients, according to a press release Monday.
