It's important to remember...
That in 2000...
A deputy mayor had the idea of...
Putting all of Tallinn's brothels downtown to Tatari street...
And to make it into a red light district
But of course that didn't happen...
But the police knew at least of 30 brothels...
And 40 nest of sins operating in appartments
But no one knows how many there were in reality
Over billion EEK (60 million EUR) moved around this business yearly
This wall has a nice picture...
Guesthouse Infant
And...
If we step inside, then it seems like it is some sort of a guesthouse, because there are alot of visitors
But there are also alot of barely clothed girls
This brothel was seen by experts as a luxurious place with beautiful girls
It earned 500k EEK (31k EUR) monthly
With the profit return of 200k EEK (12k EUR)
There are more then enough of costumers in this house...
Some of them are inside the house, but those who came here recently are leaving quickly and also a taxi with 2 clients
Taxi drivers...
Were the primary foundation in the brothel business
They delivered the clients...
And earned almost half of what the prostitues did
This is how one of these guest rooms looks like, where the guest relax and spend their time...
Here you can see...
Let's say...
One of the visitor's shoes...
Problably imported from somewhere, because...
With such shoes you can't walk in the Estonian muddy roads...
And on old town roads
Money...
Is here...
Covered with...
Purple...
Furry...
I don't think it's where the hood is but...
It's in the lower end...
It's such a costume
And well other...
That kind of clothes
This visitor has been doing crosswords
She is Russian
How long have you been living here? (In Russian)
Since yesterday (In Russian)
How do you like this hotell? (In Russian)
I like it alot, it's higher class (In Russian)
The best one, I haven't seen any better (In Russian)
So you won't be choosing Olümpia or Viru hotel if you come to Tallinn again? (In Russian)
No, there is too much people and I don't like it there (In Russian)
It's peaceful and quiet here? (In Russian)
Yes and I'm close to my friends (In Russian)
Now the border guards are checking them, because the drug dog has already been here and it seems nothing has been found
But the border guards are checking now what's the situation with their passports...
And have they arrived to Estonia illegally or not...
Or if they are actually here legally and have the right to go through all these different hotels
Because the elite bordells usually had alot of cash...
And the owners could afford to pay the lawyers...
Then much help from these police raids did not come...
Or only so much that a simple TV viewer could also where the location of these places were
But to see the closing of Infant....
Polisei kroonika was able to wait out
A police operation was conducted at this house in a way where the owners are arrested, the house has been cleared of the women and have been sent to the city, to these streets and I don't know where they will conduct their business now or if they will not even do it anymore, I don't know...
Anyway this herd of women have been sent away...
And...
The streets have become peacful and quiet again
Preliminary investigation of that place has showed that...
And also the owner's...
Material possesions have showed that they were quiet wealthy
The owners of these places became millionaires in the golden age of Estonian bordells
It was a big profit business...
Where the money and risk of getting caught were alomst ideal
And court cases against bordells happened rarely
These two bordells that you saw were only the tip of the iceberg
But like said before...
There were alot more smaller and lower class sin holes in random appartments and cellars
How the business was blooming there...
And what has become their fate...
We will see soon
