A 36 -year -old Romanian national appeared on Tuesday before the Valais cantonal court in Sion. Man is accused of encouragement to prostitution, money laundering and attempted constraints. The prosecution requested 46 months in prison.
(Keystone-ATS) Between March 2023 and April 2024, the accused would have convinced several young Romanian women, with whom he had intimate relations, to leave their country to come to Switzerland in order to indulge in prostitution. To convince them, he made them look at the possibility of making a lot of money in order to allow them to financially support their families who have remained in the country.
When he was not present, the accused could count on a mackerel who was none other than his girlfriend, who was also prostitute.
The defendant did not hesitate to threaten these women to attack their families and kept the money they had earned. On Tuesday, he recognized the facts. His lawyer pleaded for an 18 -month sentence, half of which was suspended.
