Police crack down on prostitution ring

British and Czech police have cracked down on a ring which forced Czech women into prostitution. A spokesman for the Czech police squad for fighting organized crime has confirmed that three suspects were arrested in the Czech Republic last week and three more in Britain. The suspects on Czech territory allegedly recruited good looking young women, luring them to Britain on the promise of a job or a large financial reward for a fake marriage after which they were kept prisoner and made to work for free in a nightclub. Close to 40 young women from the Czech Republic were forced into prostitution in this way, some of them just 18 years old. The ring-leaders in Britain allegedly face sentences of up to 14 years and, in one case, possibly even a life sentence.
