Organ trafficking duo likely to face prison

BEIJING - "I was just trying to help the patients. A relative of one of my clients went down on his knees when asking me to help find a kidney for his wife," said Cai Shaohua in sobs at the Haidian district court on Wednesday. Cai is a criminal suspect of illegal human organ trading.

The court opened a session on Wednesday in the trial of two organ agents. The prosecutor accused the two suspects of conducting illegal businesses and counterfeiting official seals and documents.

Cai Shaohua and Cai Shaoxia, the suspects, who are originally from Dancheng, Henan province, are brothers. Prosecutors alleged that they brokered four kidney transplants and altogether charged 584,000 yuan ($85,000) from the organ recipients.
