The idea was born. The couple of sixties realized that there was enough to make ends meet and prepare a nice retirement! He decided to invest in stone, the price per square meter being affordable in Montlucon and Limoges. In total, the couple owned 17 apartments, rented 400 euros per week and per girl.
The traffic was well run. The girls came by two or three to the station, from Spain, and it was never the same. To not arouse suspicion and ... not to tire the customers. But still, in a city of 36,000 inhabitants, the comings and goings of young and exciting South American did not go unnoticed.
Alerted by a resident, the Montluçon police station conducted the investigation. Three months of surveillance and spinning and other telephone tapping are put in place. The judicial police of Clermont-Ferrand also participated in the net. The couple faces 10 years in prison.
