A British woman was arrested
for masterminding an international prostitution ring in Paris. The
woman was alleged to have recruited and hired out hundreds of call-girls
and rent boys. However, this prostitution operation was no competitor
to the streetwalkers of the rue St. Denis. Clients paid upwards
of $500 an hour for the services. And the suspected madam claimed
she was running an honest escort service.
Members of an Albanian gang that forced young
eastern European women into prostitution in Paris were sentenced
to between four and seven years in prison by a French court. Police
broke up the ring after a months-long investigation, uncovered numerous
passports, birth certificates and driver´s licenses from Greece,
Italy and Yugoslavia that were used to mask the women´s true
identities.
Associations that work with the prostitutes call it "outright
slavery," explaining that some girls are forced to work until
they earn 1,000 Euros each day.
