People from all over Eastern Europe have come to the affluent border to offer young prostitutes, mostly to older Germans. The custodians of the law in Cheb claim to be unaware of any such dealings. They have other things to attend to. While two men and a woman disappear into the sordid sex club Number 6 with four children between the ages of roughly three and ten, the police are busy writing out parking tickets 20 metres further down the street. The officers, whose monthly salary is just 400 marks, would rather collect parking fines from the prostitutes clients than pick a fight with the pimps who sometimes give them a little extra income on the side.
German authorities are unable to conduct their investigations on Czech territory.
To my mind the Czech police should carry out targeted raids, arrest the people on the spot and hand them over to us or at least pass on their details to us, and then they could be taken to court. An American is the new star at Deutsche Bank. It was Edson Mitchell who prevented the merger with Dresdner Bank now the unruly character is to join the board of directors. Mitchell is revolutionising the conservative Frankfurt management with his aggressive style. He points to diagrams to make it quite clear who Deutsche Bank has to thank for its leading international position.
