Thai prostitution network dismantled in Switzerland
Suspect charged with running 57 sex slaves
GENEVA: Swiss police said on Wednesday they had dismantled a network that imported Thai women and men and forced them to work as prostitutes in several Swiss cities.
Police in the canton of Bern said they had opened their probe last year when a woman of Thai origin told investigators "she had been held against her will in a Bern establishment and forced to prostitute herself".
Police soon discovered the network stretched across several Swiss cantons.
The main suspect, a 42-year-old Thai woman with a Swiss residence permit, was arrested during the second half of last year in Germany. (More...)
