Did the trafficking inquiry really get closed?

The claim alone is not enough to establish that an inquiry was closed. Look for a clear statement from the relevant agency or a court record, and check whether it describes a formal closure rather than simply no charges or no public update.

First pin down which inquiry the claim means. Different agencies or countries can handle separate parts of a matter, so an update about one investigation would not necessarily mean every related inquiry ended.

Pay attention to the wording and date. A headline saying a probe was shut down can oversimplify a narrower decision. The most useful confirmation would identify the agency, the specific investigation, who made the decision, and what status it has now.
