| Russian diplomats suspected of "aggravated pimping" in Finland |
| 2004-12-02 |
| Edited for brevity. The Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) reported in their Wednesday evening TV news bulletin that at least two Russian diplomats in the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in Helsinki are suspected of aggravated pimping. Police believe that the diplomats have provided clients for hundreds of prostitutes as well as offering apartments owned by the Russian Trade Representation for their activities. The suspected diplomats are said to be minor officials in the Trade Representation. Consequently, Finnish police can neither arrest nor interview them on account of their diplomatic immunity, and they cannot be convicted of a crime in Finland, either. |
