A Bolivian woman claims a World Bank employee enslaved her after luring her to the United States to work as a nanny.

Virginia Carazani sued Emma Zegarra in Federal Court, alleging human trafficking, slavery and breach of contract.

Carazani, 35, Zegarra, of Vienna, Va., first employed her in Bolivia, paying her $100 a month to care for her two children and do household chores.

In 2006, Zegarra took a job with the World Bank, and promised Carazani $7 an hour and a five-day work week with health insurance for her and her young son, plus overtime and sick leave if she would move to the United States to work for the family.

However, "Immediately upon Ms. Carazani's arrival in the United States, the defendant confiscated Ms. Carazani's passport and papers, as well as the legal documents for her minor son. Ms. Carazani was unable to leave Zegarra's home without passports for herself or her son".
