I know pimp is not exactly the same as \"tratante de blancas\" but it might work depending on context.

translatol
: or "female con artist..." if the feminine ending is significant (and the specification will not be considered sexist). Pimp is too forceful a word to resist.

Tratante de blancas: it\'s not a pimp, it\'s somebody who \"hoocks\" and \"sales\" prostitutes to the pimps, a dealer, a trader, a trafficker. Don\'t know if there\'s a special name for that in English.
