Amsterdam bans massage parlors
In the city of Amsterdam 4 massage parlors had to close their doors forever.
In a number of massage parlors in Amsterdam West were, as well as in The Hague and Utrecht last year, carried out checks on possible traces of sexual services.
Upon investigation by various government organizations in District West of the city of Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Dutch Forensic Institute (NFI), showed sperm traces of different men, found in four massage parlors.
For The West District, it’s a reason to tell the four massage parlors, that they have to close their business immediately.
If they refuse, the district is about to close.
Councillor Martien Kuitenbrouwer: “I am delighted that research of the Dutch Forensic Institute gives enough reason to justify illegal prostitution and taking adequately action.”
As far as known, it is a massage parlor on the Overtoom, ‘Lily Chinese Massage parlor’ at the Willem de Zwijgerlaan, ‘Nana Massage salon’ the Bilderdijkkade and ‘Iris massage salon’ the Bilderdijkstraat.( The last massage parlor has previously closed by government, but later opened under a different name)
In Amsterdam there are currently 135 active Asian (most Chinese) massage parlors.
