According to “Serbian Economist”, Serbia handed over to Ukraine a 48-year-old woman whom Ukrainian law enforcement officials suspect of organizing a network providing sexual services in Kyiv, the Life website reported. Following an international manhunt, her whereabouts were traced to Serbia, after which the extradition process was carried out.
According to investigators, back in 2022, the group created a channel on a messaging app where they posted photos and videos of women, along with a list of services and prices. After receiving an advance payment, clients were directed to hotels and rented apartments in Kyiv; according to the police, the meetings were organized, in particular, during curfew hours.
Two alleged participants in the scheme—a 47-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man—were charged back in 2022. A third suspect fled Ukraine after the scheme was uncovered and went into hiding abroad.
After her extradition from Serbia, she was notified of charges under Part 2 of Article 303 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine—pimping committed against several individuals, repeatedly, and by a group of persons acting in prior conspiracy. The maximum penalty under this article is up to seven years of imprisonment. The court ordered her to be held in custody with the option of posting bail in the amount of 1.47 million UAH.
