Greece arrests 21 for prostitution



ATHENS (Reuters) - Nine foreign women were charged with prostitution after being arrested at the weekend on the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos, police said on Monday.

Police sources in Athens said earlier the women involved were British and had been taking part in an oral sexual competition which was video recorded and was to be posted on the Internet.

However, a local police official on Zakynthos said the women were mostly from eastern Europe and were working in strip clubs at Laganas in the south of the Ionian island, which lies off the west coast of mainland Greece.

British Foreign Office officials also said they had investigated the incident and there were no British women involved.

Six foreign and six Greek men, including two bar owners, were also charged with encouraging obscene behaviour, according to a statement issued from central police headquarters in Athens.

In recent years, Laganas has established itself as one of Greece's most popular destinations for twenty-something holidaymakers and is known for its wild party scene.

Around 15 million people -- a fifth of them British -- visit the eastern Mediterranean country each year, drawn by its soaring summer temperatures, azure waters and sandy beaches..
