Horrible are the facts that are coming to light about the ring that was dismantled and allegedly extradited minors to Athens. A 25-year-old "brain" and pimp.
As it turns out, some of the clients who exploited the underage girls, in some cases "paid" after the sexual dates with drugs such as cocaine, but also with a tattoo per sexual act.
This was done in consultation - according to the case file - with the 25-year-old pimp, who also received part of the money that each minor received, an amount that usually ranged from 50 euros to 100, depending on the money collected by the minors, while many times she accompanied them to appointments herself.
A 26-year-old woman, also accused and friend of the 25-year-old, also plays a key role in the circuit.
The same, which was also issued, at least from the summer of 2023, also found "customers" in three minors, taking part of the money they made, but the amount has not been determined.
Another friend of the 25-year-old pimp, 21-year-old Maria, also participated in the ring, who engaged in prostitution and found clients in one of the underage girls, from whom she received 20 euros after each sexual encounter.

These emerge both from the investigation and from chat messages, in the form of screenshots, which were handed over to the authorities by the mother of a minor and by the sister of the girl who made the initial complaint.
In fact, on the mobile phone of the minor whose sister unraveled the tangle of the case, there were messages in which the 25-year-old demanded that the minor give her money after a "date" she had made.
The tattoo artist who made appointments with minors and paid them with tattoos
The 55-year-old tattoo artist from 2021 onwards had made at least two romantic dates, inside the house that functioned as a professional tattooing place, with a minor. On one of the dates the girl was under 15 years old. He allegedly made two more dates with another minor who was exploited by the ring and according to the same information he allegedly "paid" all 4 times by giving them a tattoo.
In the summer of 2023, he was visited for tattoos by two more minors, to whom he proposed an act of love, but in the end his sick desires did not come true, as the girls refused.
As described in the relevant case file, the 55-year-old "in order to serve the debauchery of others, brought two minors into contact with another defendant, who took them to a party, outside Athens, where they met sexually, for a fee, with two unknown men."
The tattoo artist's friend was also allegedly one of the customers who made sexual encounters with at least four minors.
As it emerged from the summer of 2023 onwards, on unspecified dates, he met with the minors on prearranged romantic dates from the 25-year-old pimp, either at his home in Athens or at an office in the greater Athens area, giving between 200 and 400 Euros approx.
