A man forced his partner to sell sex to pay off alleged debts. Now he has been convicted of pimping and sentenced to a suspended sentence and 120 hours of community service, Dagens Juridik reports according to TT.
The woman told the district court that the man got rid of his roommate and then ran out of money. Jokingly, the woman said she would sell herself. The man took the suggestion seriously and started posting ads online.
The man denied the crime and stated that he himself participated in the sex services, TT reports.
He was also convicted of weapons offences, because he possessed a tear gas pistol without a permit. The judgment was appealed to the Court of Appeal, which upheld the district court’s decision.

Imports of Russian crude reached record levels in India, with the country buying up to 1.95 million barrels of oil per day from Russia in May 2023, Reuters reports. Oil imports have increased sharply since the war in Ukraine began: 40% of India’s oil came in May from Russia.
The EU currently imports about 30% more diesel and jet fuel from India than before the Russia sanctions, according to Reuters.
– If diesel or gasoline made from Russian oil comes from India to Europe, it is definitely a circumvention of the sanctions and the member states must take measures, said EU foreign representative Josep Borell to the Financial Times newspaper.
