Odesa: exposed a police officer who was engaged in pimping and "covered" brothels

In Odessa, a criminal organization consisting of seven individuals has been exposed. They organized a network of establishments providing intimate services in the city. The investigation found that this illegal "business" was led by a district police officer from the crime prevention sector of one of the district police departments. Together with six accomplices, he created an extensive network of establishments providing intimate services in the city. Clients paid the girls from 2,500 hryvnias per hour for their services. The law enforcement officer and his accomplices have been informed of the suspicion under Article 303, Part 3, and Article 302, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Decisions regarding preventive measures are pending.

This information was reported by the Prosecutor's Office of Odessa Region.

During the investigation, it was established that the police officer, along with his accomplices, rented apartments in the central districts of Odessa. They set up places there for providing intimate services and invited girls aged 18 to 25. Salon clients could choose a girl in advance, as they were sent photos of the "workers" in lingerie.
