Overview
- The 59-year-old manager is accused of recruiting women in Thailand via Facebook, arranging their passage to France, and recouping €4,500 and €5,100 smuggling fees through wage deductions.
- Workers reported earning about 25% of sums due for roughly 200 hours a month, performing unpaid cleaning, and paying €250 to sleep on the floor or on a massage table.
- Witnesses described surveillance cameras and tight control in the 11th arrondissement business, which has been administratively closed since spring 2025.
- Plaintiffs say they were pressed to provide sexual services and punished for refusals, allegations the manager denies in court.
- A one-year suspended sentence was requested for the manager’s daughter, as charges also cite concealed employment of 25 workers and hiring without residence permits, with a prior 2015 conviction noted by the court.
