Young sex slaves from Romania are being sold in Ireland by trafficking gangs making millions from the seedy vice trade. These girls can make you a millionaire. We can reveal Meder, 31, is one of a network of gang bosses selling young women to pimps and arranging for them to be brought here, exploiting the relaxation in EU border controls.
Our investigators infiltrated a trafficking gang operating out of Sibiu, in the poverty-stricken heart of Transylvania, making huge profits from women in squalid conditions. They know what they do. For the first time since migrants from Romania and Bulgaria were allowed to freely enter and work anywhere in the EU, we can reveal the sickening plight of girls lured from high school and sold into the Irish sex trade.
On Thursday, just weeks after Romanians and Bulgarians were granted the new working rights, we were offered a deal to buy four girls three weeks after contacting a UK fixer.
This kind of work it is between the rules. Gerardine Rowley, from Ruhama, an organisation that supports women affected by prostitution, told the Irish Sunday Mirror she was not surprised by our horrific findings. Meder told us the girls were instructed to dupe immigration officials into believing they were entering Ireland to work in legitimate professions. And on Thursday night, he invited our investigators to Liquid night club in Sibiu so he could show off.
The gloating pimp plied girls with spirits as he auctioned them, then led us to a seedy VIP area. There he ordered bottles of Absolut Vodka for his table and told the girls to parade for our benefit.
