The modern slavery in Switzerland

I will start my narrative on the slavery in Switzerland with a big lie, which can be read in the report of the government of the canton of Bern to the Big Council of the canton in connection with the Prostitution Law, which in view of the admission that Switzerland has been “touched” by human trade says: “The main problem is that the authorities lack information on the environment of the prostitutes. This hampers the effective protection of the persons exercising prostitution”.

I have already written in this blog that back in 2010 I contacted the Swiss federal police Fedpol 4 times – twice on the phone and twice in written form (on paper and by e-mail through the Swiss consulate in Berlin), whereby I published the first page of my e-mail in my German language blog sexsklaverei.blogspot.com. In both conversations the Fedpol officials, after hearing that I want to report on a big Hungarian organization switched over the conversation to my identity and personality – they knew very well the organization as well as that they had to “neutralize” anyone” who tries to make problems to it. I do not think that the officials who take phone reports are very high-ranking and this means that any operative from Fedpol with responsibilities on human trade knows this organization and protects it. In my case Fedpol avoided any contacts with me and did not want my information – not only that they knew everything about it but policemen do not contact, particularly formally, persons who have to be eliminated. I contacted also Eva Danzel from FIZ. I have no doubts that she submitted my information to the competent authorities but I doubt that she interrupted her contacts with me on her own will and decision. The Swiss authorities, as well as the authorities of the other developed Western “democracies” know everything about human trade on their territories.

In my case it is even more important that despite my request for confidentiality and particularly not to submit my information to the German authorities, Fedpol did exactly this and only 3-4 hours after the conversation the German federal police BKA started its deceit with the correspondence with the non-existing Fedpol official Beat Humbel. For comparison the intermediary, through whom I established the contact with BKA wanted first to talk to Dietmar Schmidt – he knew very well that the heavily involved in the slavery BKA might order my killing, which would be a problem for his police, with which I already had had official contact. Fedpol knew also very well what BKA could do with me and nevertheless the Swiss police submitted my information and contact details to BKA for the purpose of my “neutralization”. I have already accused BKA of planning and preparing my murder but Fedpol is fully involved in these crimes.

Most important, however, is the fact that three years later the Hungarian slaveholder organization undisturbed and unpunished continues and successfully further develops its presence and activities in Switzerland. The author of the lie – the government of the canton Bern is located in the same city as Fedpol, which knows everything about the slavery in the country. Besides, the Bern government opposes the compulsory registration of the prostitutes – clear evidence that it does not even want to know (at least formally) anything about prostitutes. On top of all the Swiss police are authorized to enter brothels but they use this authorization to ask about residence grounds and never ask about the situation of the women. Sex slaves in Switzerland are exploited, beaten and held imprisoned in licensed brothels. Licensing of brothels bears no requirements for the situation and treatment of the prostitutes. The Swiss authorities do not want to see the undisputable marks of the slavery like the constant transportation of the victims between brothels and towns and the fact that in many brothels work women from the same nationality, obviously delivered by the same pimp.

The big lie at the beginning of this article reveals the hypocrisy of the Swiss state, the authorities of which take part in the modern slavery exactly like the German authorities. The rest of this article will confirm this allegation.  

As already written I contacted Fedpol to inform this police on the criminal activity of the Hungarian organization. I had found out 39 (!) brothels in Switzerland with known to me Hungarian women from Leipzig. And my list of brothels could not be full – my French is weak and my Italian – non-existent.

Switzerland is the most intensive consumer of sex slaves from Eastern Europe. I am sure that the ratio of victims per 1 000 inhabitants for this country is the highest. The explanation is in the attractiveness of the Swiss market in view of its high prices as result of the higher living standard, the strong governmental support for the slavery, the proximity to the countries of origin of the slaves and the vicinity of the biggest slave market of Europe – Germany. In the internet I have also seen many women from other central slaveholder organizations from Eastern Europe.

I see no reasons to believe that slaves in this country are treated differently than in Leipzig. With regard to exploitation one of the Hungarians “working” mainly in Switzerland told me that “they were paid something”. From another one I know that in Switzerland, like in Leipzig, they are not allowed to go out of the brothels, which says very much about their situation there. Many of the brothels are used for work-in of the new slaves – most of the girls I came to know were new in the trade and without doubt any of the regular visits of the pimp brings them lots of brutality and punishments. It seems that for the sex slaves the licensed Swiss brothels do not make any difference from the non-licensed German brothels. As written above brothel licensing is not related to the treatment of the women. Mrs. Winkler from FIZ, who supports victims from the brothels in Zurich, tells stories about forced prostitution, about forced collection of all earnings, about deprivation of the right to turn down a client and coercion to certain sexual practices.

Still, I noted one difference to Leipzig. In the work-in centers with Hungarians there are no Swiss and free women, which means that the slaves are not mistreated in the presence of such women like in Leipzig – sure sign that at least the free women are less dependent in Switzerland than in Germany. Also there seems to be more sensitivity to public opinion as instead of criminal methods like in Leipzig the Swiss authorities use the licensing to let their people run the brothels and the slavery in the country. As a whole the Swiss human traders are more precautious than the Germans – already in 2010 they gave their victims different nationalities in the advertisements, particularly from countries not supplying slaves like Sweden and Norway. Also the long working time of the slaves is not announced – it is understood from the announced work time of the brothels.

I have already written that release from taxation is a key pre-requisite for the exploitation of the sex slaves and Switzerland confirms this rule. Legally self-employed foreign prostitutes are not subject to taxation in Switzerland while Swiss and foreign salaried prostitutes are tax liable. All the sex slaves in the country are “self-employed” foreign women. As the money from the central slaveholder organizations goes to the federal decision makers the local decision makers make up with their own imports of slaves. As real estate is very expensive in Switzerland they place the slaves mainly on the streets where the population can note the dependence of the women as well as their exploitation. How do the authorities react to the resulting tension? Very indicative are the statements of the head of the Economic and Labor Office of the canton Zurich Mr. Bruno Zauter, made during a press conference on July 8, 2010. According to him the polemic on the pressures on prostitutes is created by the press and human trade and forced prostitution are not acute problems in the canton of Zurich. His argument was that during the contacts “the women seemed to be in good mood” and did not leave an impression that “the pressure on them was too strong”. Should I wonder after such statements that 7 brothels out of the above mentioned 39 brothels are in the canton of Zurich? Basically Mr. Zauter said the same the slaveholder from Leipzig Jens Kottke wrote in my German blog and what Dietmar Schmidt said to me during our second meeting. All slaveholders claim that there victims are fine and happy with their lives. By the way, it were the statements of Mr. Zauter which prompted Mrs. Winkler to tell the truth about the situation in the Zurich brothels.

In that press conference Mr. Zauter admitted that his canton does not comply with the federal instructions to consider the working in the brothels women as employed and to issue work permits for them in order to tax them and added that these instructions are not followed also by the cantons Bern and Geneva. He justified this massive non-compliance with the impracticality of the instructions and assured that the federal authorities are aware of the problem and do not insist on compliance. I believe that in reality the federal instructions are very practical but very inconvenient for the slavery. How can you exploit sex slaves if they have to pay taxes and how can you do whatever you want with them if they are registered and have work permit? We see that in the “state of law” Switzerland, as in the “state of law” Germany, the laws and regulations representing impediments for the slavery (most probably passed before the introduction of the slavery) simply are regularly violated by the authorities.

In order to stress the representative nature of Mr. Sauter’s statements I will note that twice – in 2010 for street prostitution and in 2012 for saloon prostitution the parliament of the Zurich canton voted against the compulsory registration of the prostitutes and thus opened broadly the door for the slavery. Exactly like in Germany the human traders in the canton of Zurich can do with their victims whatever they want as the latter can easily disappear without traces. Same is the situation in the cantons of Geneva and Bern and not by chance in the first one is located the biggest work-in center for the Hungarian sex slaves. I can name only one canton in Switzerland, in which the registration of the prostitutes is compulsory – Freiburg.

The statements of Mr. Sauter reveal part of the reasons why the slaveholders force the slaves to move from brothel to brothel – these movements are used to excuse the lack of any registration and taxation of the victims which are the main pre-requisite for their exploitation and mistreatments. The permanent mobility is one of the major marks of the modern sex slavery and the other reasons behind it are to prevent the establishment of relations of the victims with their clients, to better utilize the brothel facilities and thus increase the profits for the brothel owners and not to let the clients note the total exploitation of the women.

Switzerland is considered as a state of law and one of the most developed democracies in the world but we see that this is simply another slaveholder state where the sociopathic decision makers have created all the necessary legal and administrative pre-requisites for the slavery and where human suppression, organized crime and brutality simply are better masked by the façade of democracy.
