'Magaluf prostitutes forced to work by voodoo threats to satisfy Brit tourists'

Callous sex traffickers in Benidorm and Magaluf are forcing women to work 14 hour days as prostitutes by threatening them with voodoo, it is claimed.

A report by The Sun says women as young as 17 are forced to meet demand from holidaying Brits in both party destinations.

They are said to be groomed in Benin City, Nigeria, where they are promised a better life in Spain.

Women living in poverty are targeted by an organisation headed by three women, who reportedly threaten them and their families if they do not obey.

Some of the women are subjected to terrifying voodoo rituals and threatened with death if they do not go along with the traffickers' demands.

Following a number of arrests, a police source told the newspaper of the horrific fate awaiting women when they arrive in tourist hotspots.

The cop said: "They had to go and prostitute themselves every day and couldn't come back until the early hours of the morning, after more than 14 hours... regardless of the inclement weather or their own health."

It is thought criminals are making at least €5 million from sex trafficking in Spain.

Women are said to be so terrified of their bosses that they are having abortions if they fall pregnant, wary of the traffickers finding out.

A bar manager in Benidorm told The Sun: "It's not the fact they are working as prostitutes that bothers most British tourists, it's because they are forever trying to steal people's wallets and handbags.

"After midnight they can be seen near all the busy pubs and clubs... and that's when the problems start."
