amsterdam - Amsterdam end of last year, eight massage parlors. Another eight other salons have been told that they have to close. In the massage parlors are found tracks that are a possible indication for prostitution.

         The capital held from August to November, a major campaign to track down massage parlors where prostitutes they occur. It delivers discomfort and feelings of insecurity for local residents, it can not be controlled or safe sex workers do their job and it is unfair competition for sex licensed companies, which have to comply with various strict rules.
The municipality controlled 22 salons where suspicions of illegal prostitution. These were mainly Thai and Chinese massage parlors. On three occasions the enforcers found no traces. In three others were found too little evidence to serve as evidence.
In addition to the presence of trace watched, the auditors or scantily clad women and sexually related objects were present in the salon. Further, reviews were examined on the Internet.
The city council speaks of a successful action, but call it,, a persistent problem. '' It is difficult to address because there are salons where only massages. That makes it legally complicated to prohibit the establishment of new massage parlors. Amsterdam wants this year to experiment with anonymous regulators to tackle as quickly unscrupulous salons.
