The police found a 16-year-old girl from Hungary on Monday afternoon during a check on the Baekelandplein in Eindhoven. The girl was at the time working as a prostitute.
Police agents saw a girl with whom they doubted her given identity. Because she did not speak Dutch she was eventually taken to the police station. Further investigation into her identity has been done there.
Eventually it seemed to be a teenage girl from Hungary. She pretended to be an adult with the identity card of someone else on the Baekelandplein. It was probably her first working day.
The girl is housed in a safe environment. She will be brought back to her family in Hungary shortly. The police are now investigating trafficking in human beings.
Police Prostitution Control Team performs regular checks in the prostitution industry. They investigate illegal and forced prostitution. They also check whether minors are employed.
