That does not follow - there are many things that are illegal put are not expected to be proactively investigated or stopped by the police except when carrying out a court order.

> the Greens (who are happily trading with Qatar instead of Russia because Qatar is such a great place for human rights).
Very OT, but this is naive rambling, too. They are not "happily" trading with Qatar and even stated that this is the lesser evil right now.
That's why I prefaced with:
> You might read, that I am cynical regarding politics in my country
Anyone who trades with slavers lost his credibility. Everyone trading with warlords as well.
Either the Greens are a party of values (I don't have to share those) or they are a party of opportunists.
There are shades of grey. I attest to that. But being a pacifist and a humanist I can't accept dealing with either one (Putin as a war mongering statesman or the Qatar government embracing slavery as a Form of doing business).
When the Greens agreed for Germany to take part in an unconstitutional war in former Yugoslavia I was aghast. Nowadays I see it more differentiated. There was no way to ensure an UN peace mission. And we could either stand by an watch genocide or act.
There are other options now than to throw money at slavers imho. That's why I am being cynical.
