900 Officers raid brothel, make 6 arrests
Berlin, Germany at the Artemis FKK club.
Took place 13 April 2016 in the evening, and a combined 212 escorts and clients were found. After months of investigation culminating in a raid with 680 police officers, and nearly 120 customs officials, tax inspectors, and prosecutors, they made a whopping 6 arrests. While the obligatory "trafficking" makes headlines in US and UK papers, the German news is clear: the raid was focused on finances to the tune of 17.5 million euro in social taxes, and evasion of 6 million euros in income taxes. Moral of the story: pay the tax man his due! The six arrest warrants were:2 against the operator of the brothel
4 against women working there as housekeeping Link below is to a German news agency in case someone else's translation skills are better than mine. Damned if I can find the same article on the English site
The moral of the story?
Government is nothing more than a legal version of La Cosa Nostra...sex, drugs and murder are OK as long as you're rendering unto Caeser...
Governments will give harsher penalties for tax evasion than some murder cases. So you know what is important to them.
