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.

据新华社报道，浙江省杭州市有关部门周二表示，当地警方摧毁一非法出售人体器官团伙，已抓获两名犯罪嫌疑人。

该案件由一位网友化身卖肾者深入犯罪窝点后予以曝光。

据称，许多走投无路的年轻人为了还债等目的，栖身杭州江干区犯罪窝点，等待卖肾。

组织贩卖者支付卖肾者的报酬为35000元一颗，但在黑市却向等待移植的病人要价20万至50万不等。

该案件曝光后，杭州警方立即展开调查，两名主犯已在湖南落网。
