Hungarian pimps sentenced up to nine years

Seven Hungarian suspects of human trafficking heard a prison sentence of up to nine years. The men, aged between 24 and 36 years, exploited prostitutes, according to the Public Prosecutor in The Hague. The women are often brought to the Netherlands under false pretenses. The prison sentences range from nine years to eighteen months. The women were told they would work in a store in the Netherlands.
