Paint ring in Linz and Wels: Police finally strikes brutal stitch!

A sensitive blow to a Hungarian pimp ring not only costs women their freedom, but also the perpetrators their innocence. In Linz and Wels, the police smashed a group that forced drug addicts from Hungary to prostitution for over five years. In the coordinated investigations, which led to several arrests, at least twelve women were exploited, while the criminal organization was estimated to achieve around 850,000 euros, such as kosmo> reported.

The women, often young and vulnerable, were mostly recruited in Hungary and deported to Austria using violence. They were not only victims of mental and physical attacks, but were also made compliant with methamphetamine. They then had to operate more freely in illegal brothels and hotels, often under extreme conditions and without protective measures. The "watchdogs" collected the entire income and ensured that women were still cared for with drugs to keep them under control. Meinzirk.at adds that the brutal stitch of the perpetrator always went straight away

The decisive breakthrough came at the end of November, when a 46-year-old Hungarian, who acted as a "boot", was arrested in Linz shortly before she could travel to Hungary. This arrest led to the search of an illegal brothel in downtown Linz, where two of the abused women were discovered. At the same time, two men and a woman who were also part of the ring were arrested in Budapest. Dealers were also charged with drug trafficking because the group also smuggled hard drugs to further control their victims. The woman arrested in Austria is currently in custody, while the investigation continues and the background of these disgusts are revealed.
