Not had many stories from modern Russia that I could really upload .... reports generally defied Google translation .... but not this one, and my what a naughty girl
Aygun Azizova is a rather plump 24-year-old ex-star of a popular reality show in Russia .... she took part in Russia’s Dom-2 (House-2) TV show (which is similar to Big Brother), for several weeks in 2006. She later appeared in a late night TV show on sexual issues aired on Russia’s TNT television .... so not shy then
However, fame is a fleeting thing, and for some it fairly gallops past .... so when in December 2009, the Daily Graphic newspaper, carried a report on a
sex ring in Russia that was uncovered by Ghana’s mission in Moscow, it probably comes as no surprise that Aygun Azizova was involved. Apparently she had hooked up with a Ghanaian boyfriend, one Shamsu Muhammad, and were reported to have offered a Ghanaian woman, and three Nigerian women, jobs in Moscow. But the police said the real purpose was that they planned to
sell the women for 50,000 roubles, about $1,650 each, to pimps to be used in prostitution.
The reports say the couple was
arrested in January 2010, when police went undercover and posed as potential buyers .... the ring unravelled and it was found that another six women had been caught up in the scheme. The report said each of the ten women had been told to
pay between $35,000 and $45,000, in order to obtain their freedom to live wherever they chose in Russia .... when they couldn't, they were sold to the pimps. A further number of Africans in Russia and Ghana were arrested.
Muhammad remained in custody while Azizova was
released on bail because she was pregnant. Both faced up to
six years in prison if they were convicted .... sadly I don't know what happened next, although in Russia, the rule of thumb is, arrested = conviction = sentenced.
