Current Affairs Chomutov proposes “tabloid tactics” to deter German sex tourists
The fall of communism and the arrival of the free market produced a boom in a number of sectors of the Czech economy, but one area that’s enjoyed unparalleled growth is what’s sometimes called the world’s oldest profession. Prostitution – much of it street prostitution run by criminal gangs – is commonplace in towns close to the Austrian and German borders. One of them is the industrial city of Chomutov, in northwest Bohemia. There the local authorities have come up with a novel plan to push prostitution out of the city limits. But as Rob Cameron reports, the plan could run into legal difficulties.
