Albanian connection to the teenage sex slaves in London
By Jason Bennetto Crime Correspondent
The Independent (UK) - 19 June 2003
The Romanian girl was 15 when she was smuggled into Britain. She
arrived in Dover, via Brussels and Ostend, on a hovercraft in July 2001
and was met at Victoria station and taken to a flat in north-west
London. A day later, a man named Mustapha Kadiu, 31, arrived and made
the girl, later known in court as Miss X, phone saunas and massage
parlours to work as a prostitute.
Kadiu, an Albanian who persuaded her to travel to Britain to start a
new life, threatened to kill her if she failed to earn between £400 and
£500 a day, charging £30 for straight sex.
After three months of sexual slavery in London she escaped and went to
police. Kadiu was arrested and convicted of raping her, indecently
assaulting her and of living off immoral earnings. He was sentenced
last December to 10 years in prison.
The plight of the Romanian teenager is an example of the growing power
of Albanian pimps in London and of the booming sex trade involving
girls and women from eastern Europe smuggled to the West. The National
Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) says many of the people who are
trafficked into Britain enter the vice trade. Others work as cheap
labour in illicit sweatshops producing counterfeit goods or are brought
in by Chinese "snakehead" gangs to work in restaurants.
Most of those who end up in the vice industry are victims of "some form
of deception, and exploit the lack of opportunities open to women in
source countries", the NCIS says in its assessment of serious and
organised crime.
Traffickers advertise in local newspapers abroad offering jobs as
maids, nannies, bar and catering staff, receptionists, clerical staff,
dancers and entertainers. Even the women who knowingly get involved in
vice are told they will be able to keep their profits.
Women from countries in the former Soviet Union and Balkan regions are
increasingly the victims of kidnap by the traffickers, NCIS says. "In
some rural areas of the Balkans, the fear of kidnap is such that
families keep adolescent girls at home rather than send them to school
or work."
Traffickers use extreme violence, including rape, to control victims.
"In some instances, women have been killed and their bodies dumped in
public places as an example," NCIS adds. In Britain, traffickers strip
victims of all documents so they cannot work elsewhere. Some threaten
to tell their families they are prostitutes.
Over the past decade, violent Albanian criminals have taken control of
75 per cent of prostitution in Soho. Scotland Yard estimates that last
year criminals made £61m from 15 people-smuggling operations that
police detected.
