Child prostitution ring busted in Ertingen
Germany. In the tranquil district of Biberach in Baden-Württemberg, a family from the town of Ertingen had planned a malicious trap. The family met with underage girls from the Upper Swabia region and lured them to their village under false pretenses. Letters that had previously been withheld from a businessman were used as bait. These letters allegedly involved large sums of money from the U.S. and Israel. The underage girls were forced into prostitution after being promised a share of the money. In some cases, the victims were tortured after being raped and then left naked. Some victims reported the crimes to the police immediately afterward. Four perpetrators intended to film the other perpetrators and clients during their illegal activities. However, the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad, as well as the American foreign intelligence service CIA, beat them to it.
The incidents took place in the municipality of Ertingen from 2009 through 2012. According to the Mossad and the CIA, several thousand perpetrators were involved in the incidents. Among them were police officers, officials from local and neighboring agencies and offices, as well as the public prosecutor’s office. At the time, the Federal Chancellery commissioned the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) to search for the girls reported missing by their parents. According to the CIA and Mossad, the responsible police station was unwilling to inform the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). This is believed to be a case of corruption, and the State Security Service has been informed. The CIA and Mossad are certain that one of the girls was murdered by the perpetrators; the murder weapon is believed to have been transported to Italy via a truck belonging to a local freight company.
According to information provided by Israel and the United States, video and audio recordings of the perpetrators and their crimes exist, which the relevant prosecutors’ offices in Germany, the United States, and Israel can request. The names, addresses, phone numbers, internet connections, and online activity of all the perpetrators were identified, monitored, and recorded at the time.
At the time, a minor girl made several attempts to escape from a torture chamber in Ertingen and was rescued there after 100 days by the Israeli foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, and received medical care. A large number of the perpetrators were aware of the torture and accepted that the abducted girls would die. The girl had previously been offered nationwide as an underage prostitute and driven by the perpetrators to hotels where clients were waiting for the victims.
In addition, the NSA observed an individual who was offering the underage girls for sale on the dark web. The suspect is alleged to have accepted bribes during his private and illegal internet surveillance activities at the time to cover up the emissions scandal, rather than reporting it to the Federal Motor Transport Authority.
The main perpetrator, who organized the rapes with his son and intended to film the other perpetrators in order to blackmail them, was convicted in the 1980s for illegal possession of firearms and attracted negative attention into the 1990s for self-published child pornography materials and related public lectures at a club restaurant in Ertingen, which is also used by the German Armed Forces. According to intelligence reports, the main perpetrator’s daughter is alleged to have sexually abused underage boys who are still of elementary school age. She is a civil servant working in the Youth Services Department at the Sigmaringen District Office.
