12 White Slaves Halted on the Border

Trafficking of 12 Moldovian women has been prevented by Moldovan border guards. The women were escorted by a "lady coach" who told the guards they were going to Budapest (Hungary) for a "marathon running competition". Their ultimate destination seems to have been Italy where the charming girls most likely were intended for a 'prostitution marathon'.


Moldova Azi: 12 White Slaves Halted on the Border

June 21 2005


Moldovan border guards prevented the trafficking of 12 nationals of Moldova - women aged 20 to 28, who were heading to Europe under the leadership of a "lady coach".

She stated to the border officers she was escorting the girls to an international marathon running competition in Budapest. The only document she could produce was a strangely looking invitation to the sportive contest, which turned out to be a fake paper. The entire "team of athletes" did not have even a single sportive article about them, but everyone had phrasebooks of Italian.

The officers believe the vehicle's ultimate destination was Italy where the charming girls were intended for a 'prostitution marathon'. One of the first things they told the police was that the trip organizers had collected 2,500 to 2,700 euros from each of them.

No doubt this is a frequent occurance. Trafficking of women is a known problem in this area, as well as trafficking of drugs and weapons. Moldova is the poorest country in Europe in terms of GDP per capita.

Aha, they needed a "success" story now. To show Europe that they can manage the border control. Failure could mean EU entry delayed for Romania. And Moldova want to be friends with Europe.


BBC: EU spurs Romanian border action

21 June, 2005



Romania's border controls are a key area of concern for the European Union, as the country gets itself into shape to join the bloc on 1 January 2007. Failure to raise standards could mean EU entry is delayed, but progress is gradually being made, Anca Toader of the BBC's Romanian Service reports.

Neighbouring Serbia, Ukraine and Moldova all have a reputation as transit hubs for smuggled goods and people. The biggest challenge is posed by Romania's eastern border with Moldova, which is a source of illegal migrants including women trafficked for prostitution to western Europe.

Moldova is not the only place, this goes on everywhere.
Prostitution is a definate problem in the old warsaw pact and soviet countries. Many Russian, Moldovian, Ukraine etc..etc... women are exported all across Europe and Asia to act as slaves in the sex industry.

Very sad IMO

And the sad thing is that is has been going on in that part of the world for GENERATIONS.

The term most English-speakers use for that great ethnic group is "Slav"


So guess where the English word "Slave" comes from . . . .
