Escort agencies in Hungary are ILLEGAL, independent escorts are not:
-it is AGAINST THE LAW to operate an escort agency in Hungary, even though you see them all over the internet
-though some websites are still online, half of the owners are already in jail, as the police launched a major
campaign to shut down agencies and prosecute owners on 11 January 2011
-the rest of the agences are under police surveillance, so better not to try your luck
-hotel staff is reporting to the Police on all cases of escort visit
-in addition, hotel security is very tight during Hungary's EU presidency (in H1 2011)
-working as an INDEPENDENT ESCORT is NOT against the law, hence it is your only safe choice
-I'm totally independent, not related to any third party.
WARNING
Escort Agencies in Hungary being targeted by Police
In Hungary it is ILLEGAL to
operate an Escort Agency. It has been so for many years, but up to
recently only very randomly we have seen any major law enforcement
cases.
However, on 11 January 2011
a major law enforcement campaign was initiated by European police
forces and agressive measures have been taken to shut down
some Hungarian escort agencies and prosecute the owners. Such measures
include arrests and direct contact to the agencies' clients.
The first agencies shut down are Zuzana and Adultstargirls. Check their websites to see the police warning.
Other
agencies may currently be under surveillance or investigation.
Your safe choice at the moment may be to go with independent ladies,
whose operation is NOT against the law.
Also,
seems like international hotel chains have been instructed by police to
co-operate in the fight against prostitution, so expect outcalls to
hotels in Budapest to be very risky, especially coupled with Hungary's
current EU presidency when enhanced security measures apply.
POLICE PRESS RELEASE, 11 January 2011
National Crime Squad shuts escort web site down due to human trafficking. Text-messages sent to 1300 clients.
Rotterdam, 11-01-2011 �
Today, the National Crime Squad has shut down two web sites of escort
agencies, for being presumably involved in human trafficking. At the
same time, a text message was sent by the police to approximately 1300
cell-phone-numbers that tried to get in contact with escort site
www.zuzana.com. The other web site is pleasure-escort.nl.
In the
city of Lisse, a 32 year old male was arrested, being presumably the
organizer behind www.zuzana.com. After searching his home, computers
and mobile phones were seized. At the offices of www.pleasure-escort.nl
in Amsterdam, a 32 year old co-worker from Haarlem was arrested and
taken along by the National Crime Squad for interrogation.
In
an international search report, the National Crime Squad has requested
for the arrest of a 37 year old male-suspect from The Hague. Eight
years ago, he was the founder of www.Zuzana.com. Besides this, this
male is wanted by the French Police Authorities for serving a still
outstanding sentence of four years for human trafficking.
Enlargement of consciousness
The
content of the text-message is as follows: �This number has contacted
zuzana.com. This site presumably offers victims of human trafficking.
The police ask for your help.
The
text-alert has been carried out by the police in order to enlarge
consciousness of the clients contacting escort agencies and asking them
to help in combating human trafficking.
90% out of the
hundreds of mobile phones appear to be a Dutch mobile number, often
registered on name of the employer. In 60% of the contacts,
appointments for a prostitute were made during working hours. On the
websites, shut down by the National Police Squad a warning-text has
been placed.
On the police web page, extensive information regarding human
trafficking is provided. Moreover, the opportunity is offered for
passing on information concerning human trafficking. Also a hint is
given towards the telephone-link �Anonymous Crime Reporting�
Hotel Chains
The
investigation of the National Crime Squad of the Netherlands Police
Agency, concentrates on both the escort branch as well as the illegal
prostitution business. In the case of hotel-prostitution, the
prostitute stays for a longer period in a hotel room, usually in one of
the hotel-chains along the highways. Clients make an appointment by
telephone or through internet and are then informed by text-message
about the room number of the woman who offers paid sex-services.
www.zuzana.com. is an example of this procedure.
During this
investigation, it furthermore appeared that the associates of
www.pleasure-escort.nl, are aware of the fact that the Eastern European
females offered are exploited. Besides, they are profiting from this
exploitation. Investigation against www.pleasure-escortt.nl, was
initiated after a telephone-tip to �Anonymous Crime Reporting�
Recruitment
Through
web-site www.zuzana.com, mainly Eastern European females, working in
the porn business or as a model are offered as a prostitute, against
prices, starting from 200 euro/hour. They are travelling throughout
Europe and stay one week at the time in a hotel or an apartment in The
Netherlands. From this investigation it appears that this escort agency
presumably is guilty of recruiting women for prostitution. This also
comes under human trafficking according to the Penal Code.
www.zuzana.com is visited by more then 7000 persons throughout Europe
on a daily base.
Helping Hand from the Catering Industry
In
November 2009, a helping hand between the Royal Dutch Catering Industry
(Koninklijke Horeca Nederland) has been adopted, to fight against
illegal prostitution.
Renewed contacts took place today,
between the General Prosecutor�s Office, the National Police Squad and
the Royal Dutch Catering industry at the National Horecava Fair,
whereby hotel-managers were contacted and informed about the results of
the police-investigation.
From the moment of their arrest, the suspects are interrogated by the National Police Squad.
