Finnish police investigators announced at a press conference on Thursday of completing an investigation against three women from Estonia for pimping Estonian prostitutes to Finland, Eesti Päevaleht writes.

According to the indictment, the women, born in 1984, 1974 and 1963, got involved in the prostitution business in spring of 2011 and over two years, they developed a huge customer base in the whole of South and Central Finland.


Around fifty prostitutes in the age of 28-50 worked for them in over 30 houses; all of them came from Estonia, reported LETA.


Tampere Central Criminal Police lead investigator Paavo Tuominen said that the initiators of the ring focused on smaller towns, believing that would be less control over prostitution there.


Besides the Estonians, two Finnish men are accused, who rented the necessary rooms for the Estonian madams.
