BARLETTA EXPLOITATION AND PROSTITUTION
A 37-YEAR-OLD ROMANIAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY THE CARABINIERI IN BARLETTA. HE EXPLOITS THE PROSTITUTES, ALL OF THEM VERY YOUNG, WHO WORKED A STONE'S THROW FROM THE SANCTUARY OF THE MADONNA DELL'STERPETO. HE EXPLOITS 100 EUROS A WEEK FROM THE GIRLS. ONLY IN THIS WAY, HE SAYS, PASSING HIMSELF AS THE TRUSTED MAN OF A LOCAL CRIME LEGENDARY, COULD THEY OCCUPY THE PLACE AND NOT BE BEATEN AND THREATENED TO RETURN HOME. THE STRAW THAT BREAK THE VAULT WAS THE ROBBERY OF A NECKLACE FROM ONE OF THEM.
