A woman in her forties was sentenced to three years in prison and a ten-year ban on territory by the criminal court in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne) on June 29.
She appeared for “pimping, human trafficking and money laundering”.
This former prostitute employed five South American women, reports

.
It was by cross-checking advertisements found on Internet sites that the Gendarmerie Research Brigade was able to locate an apartment.
A property serving as a logistics center for this illegal activity was then located in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre (Seine-et-Marne).
The forties and her companion had been finely arrested on June 21.
Run like a business
The defendant denied any human trafficking, saying that the prostitutes had come forward spontaneously.
His companion, meanwhile, assured that he had remained in the background.
However, he was given a one-year suspended prison sentence.
Organized as a real commercial enterprise, the network would have brought the couple at least 90,000 euros.
