The unusual night-time comings and goings triggered the investigations of the Flying Squad and the assets checks on the owner
AOSTA. The operation that led to the preventive seizure of a rendezvous house disguised as a bed & breakfast in a condominium in Aosta was called Meretrix.
By order of the investigating judge, the police at dawn today sealed the b & b owned by a sixty-five-year-old, BCD, of Spanish nationality, who according to the mobile squad served as a cover for organizing paid sexual encounters.
The investigations began after reports of an unusual evening and night comings and goings inside the condominium. For five months the agents monitored the bed & breakfast. The information collected in this way was compared with the statements of the suspect on the people housed: officially thirty guests in two years, all South American women already reported for prostitution. Not enough, according to the investigators, to encourage the constant and large movements of money on the various current accounts in the woman’s name and not reported in the tax returns.
In support of the evidence collected, Mobile has heard some customers who have confirmed the sexual performance with the recorded “guests” of the b & b. Clients also reported the woman’s recommendations to the policemen with the utmost discretion to avoid attracting attention and generating suspicion.
The woman was arrested for aiding and abetting and exploiting prostitution. Now she is under house arrest at her residence in Crotone.
