Nine people have been arrested, including three female Hungarian pimps and Dutch brothel owners, a spokesman for Amsterdam’s prosecution service said today.
Gang members enticed victims to Amsterdam with promises of a better future, where they used violence and rape to intimidate while forcing the women to work as prostitutes in the red-lit windows that attract many tourists to the city each year.

So far 13 victims have been identified, including Hungarian and Dutch women, but the spokesman said there were probably several more, though fear and psychological dependence on their pimps often prevents women coming forward.
Investigations leading up to the arrests were part of efforts to crack down on illegal activities in Amsterdam’s 800-year-old red light district, the spokesman said, which have also included closing down brothels in the city centre.
