Police: Gang Brought 60 Nigerian Prostitutes to Finland

Helsinki police suspect a criminal gang of aggravated procurement and arranging illegal immigration involving 60 Nigerian prostitutes. The women paid the pimps as much as 60,000 euros each.

Police arrested some of the suspected leaders of the ring in September, but the stream of women being brought into Finland continued.

So far eight people have been detained, while police are still looking for a ninth gang member. Some suspects have been released but forbidden from leaving the country.

The ring's operations in Finland were led by three women. One of them was detained by Finnish police in Spain.

Police say that the ring brought women into all the Nordic countries as well as Switzerland and Austria. The ones brought to Finland entered the EU through Italy and Spain. They were found to have forged passports and residence permits.

The gang charged the women between 40,000 and 60,000 euros each for bringing them to Finland. This debt was paid off through prostitution. The women worked in hotels and rented flats in 27 towns in Finland, from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. Their services were advertised on a Finnish-language "secretary school" website based in Barcelona, Spain.

Most of them have been deported to countries where they had residence permits.
