Hangzhou police, in Zhejiang Province, have busted a gang of human organ traffickers and detained two suspects, local authorities announced on Tuesday, Xinhua reported.

The gang recently got exposed by a netizen who infiltrated a kidney trafficking plant by pretending to be a kidney seller.

It has been revealed that many desperate young men who wanted to sell their kidneys, for example to pay off their debts, lived at the base located in the city's Jianggan district.

Traffickers paid an average of 35,000 yuan for each kidney, while those in need of the organs are typically charged 200,000 to 500,000 yuan for them on the black market.

Hangzhou police immediately launched an investigation after the case was exposed and its two major suspects were caught in Hunan Province.

據新華社報道，浙江省杭州市有關部門周二表示，當地警方摧毀一非法出售人體器官團伙，已抓獲兩名犯罪嫌疑人。

該案件由一位網友化身賣腎者深入犯罪窩點后予以曝光。

據稱，許多走投無路的年輕人為了還債等目的，棲身杭州江干區犯罪窩點，等待賣腎。

組織販賣者支付賣腎者的報酬為35000元一顆，但在黑市卻向等待移植的病人要價20萬至50萬不等。

該案件曝光后，杭州警方立即展開調查，兩名主犯已在湖南落網。
