The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

Corrected entry: One of the men who is against Lisbeth and wants her dead says "She has to be convicted of shooting Zalachenko." But she didn't shoot him; she hit him twice with an axe.

Correction: Yes, but Zalachenko got shot shortly thereafter, and they want Lisbeth to take the fall for it.

Question: I don't understand the connection between "the section" and the human trafficking/child porn network that was mentioned throughout the films. It is my understanding that the section was simply a secret covenant that leaks political secrets. But, some members seem to be involved in human trafficking and child porn (and where sexual predators and sadists themselves) but I don't see what part the section had in it. Can someone explain?

Chosen answer: The section had no direct involvement in human trafficking, but were willing to overlook Zala's activities in it because he had been useful to them and they wanted to keep their relationship with him secret. As was mentioned, the authorities took little interest in pursuing this type of crime because the victims are generally young women who have little or no family ties or other connections and they are often written off as willing prostitutes. They are simply considered too unimportant to be bothered with.
