Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the defendant remained liable for promotion of prostitution / participation in it
Decisione estratta
No. He was acquitted of the allegation of co-perpetration or aiding and abetting promotion of prostitution.
Motivazione estratta
The federal court had held that the conduct of requiring disclosure of earnings and handing over half did not amount to a sufficiently determining influence on the women’s sexual self-determination. The retrial court therefore had to acquit on that count.
