Recent court proceedings against Bulgarian pimps in Germany, Switzerland and other Western European countries show what is going on in these nations of law. They seem to be helpless in this regard. Young women from Bulgarian villages are being promised attractive jobs with good pay. Once they reach Germany, or other rich countries, they are being beaten and forced into prostitution. Women who complain or try to flee are being beaten even more. In most cases, these prostitutes need help in order to get out of there.
According to him, there was violence in public, a few years ago. The police came. Some court proceedings were initiated. But that did not really change anything. Most forced prostitutes did not become witnesses against those brutal individuals, probably because they had been afraid the suspects might hurt them or their families back home. I have seen Rolls-Royces and a Maserati with Bulgarian number plates. Cases of Rape On top of it all, there are brawls among pimps from the same country, and between competitors from different countries.
In , a Romanian man was murdered. At least once, Eastern European pimps were beaten up by Arabic clan members who wanted their share of the income.
The little money some of the women are allowed to keep is being needed back home in Hungary, Bulgaria or Romania. The sex workers go there to send money to their families. And they rape these women. In these cases, the NGO offers to help them with the police and other authorities, but the victims mostly refuse. So they refrain from suing those rapists. Recently, in the latest case of this kind, the rapist was a taxi driver.
The woman he raped said, she needed the little money they left her with for her family back home. Therefore the crime went unpunished. It was not the first time. They are all being forced into this. The few local sex workers in this area, Germans and women who have lived in the country for a long time, are drug addicts.
