As follows from the report of protothema.gr, “leading role” in the case has a 25-year-old named Maria, who allegedly, according to the evidence collected by the Greek police, developed contact with the minors from the summer of 2023 and facilitated them in finding “customers” for paid erotic encounters, taking of course part of the money they gained.

In particular, for her “services” Maria allegedly received usually 50 to 100 euros depending on the money received by the minors (200 – 400 euros), while many times she also performed the role of escort, taking the girls to the appointments herself.

It is also noteworthy that some of the “clients” who were meeting with the minors, in agreement with the 25-year-old, provided them with drugs, in particular cocaine, as a reward instead of money.

The drivers

As regards the other persons arrested, two of them are accused of driving the minors to and from the hotels where the sexual encounters took place, using their cars. One of them is a taxi driver.

Finally, the police officers arrested a 21-year-old woman who is accused of promoting one of the minors into prostitution at an unspecified time, but during the same period of action of the other arrested persons, taking part of the money she obtained.
