News Corp is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services. The customer β posing as a brothel owner from London β was an undercover reporter from The Sun on Sunday. She is just one of thousands of vulnerable girls being trafficked from Romania β many by mafia bosses. One pimp boss is Nicu Greceanu β who heads an international gang selling poor teenagers from his Romanian homeland to UK brothels. Last week we were tipped off about Emma.

The factory worker lives in the dilapidated house with his bed-ridden elderly father, wife Sorina and five children aged between four and He proudly showed off photos of Emma and pointed to a certificate and medals on the wall. Only the youngest is my child. I do not have enough money to look after Emma and the whole family. I want a few thousand euros to spend on each of the other children.

Last year more than children were identified as being trafficked to Britain for sexual abuse. The National Crime Agency said 1, potential victims of human trafficking were reported to the authorities last year β a rise of 47 per cent on More than 80 per cent of prostitutes in Britain are now foreign.
Many are lured into the sex trade by pimps who promise them lucrative jobs. Others travel here willingly to sell their bodies to feed their families. Last month police raided two brothels in Harrow, North West London, detaining six Romanian prostitutes.
Greceanu bragged to our undercover reporter how he pays his girls just 30 per cent of what they earn. They will help you get everything from the Government β houses and benefits in London, everything.
