Prostitution in Upper Austria
The sex trade is a “traveling circus”
In Wels and Linz, police recently struck a blow against traffickers of young women. A Hungarian quartet is alleged to have drugged the women and forced them into prostitution throughout Austria, but primarily in Linz and Wels. And yet: Most of the sex trade is legal.
Their addiction made a dozen Hungarian women aged 18 to 30 compliant; they didn’t need to be beaten or locked up. “Supplying them with drugs was enough to keep them in line,” says a human trafficking investigator with the Upper Austrian State Criminal Police Office. For half a year, investigators had been monitoring the Hungarians who were “offering” the women—some of whom had been trafficked—in Linz and Wels; then they struck. Two women and a supervisor were caught, and three masterminds were arrested in Hungary.
