Pair jailed for running brothel
3:11pm Thursday 15th May 2008
TWO Eastern-Europeans who ran a brothel in Southall have been jailed for a year each today (Thursday).
Andrius Zubinas, 34, and his girlfriend, Edita Zubkova, 30, were each sentenced to 12 months in prison at Southwark Crown Court after being found guilty of controlling prostitution.
The pair were arrested by officers from the Met's human trafficking team on December 6 at the brothel in Lady Margaret Road, Southall.
Officers launched a five-month investigation into the pair following information given to them by a girl who managed to escape from the brothel and get back to Lithuania.
Both Zubinas and Zubkova were cleared of charges of human trafficking at the same court.
