MACEDONIAN GUILTY OF SLAVERY CHARGES
December 7, 2003 – (NYT) A Macedonian court
has convicted Dilaver Bojku on charges of enslaving dozens of young
women from Ukraine, Romania and Moldova, the Ministry of Interior
announced Friday.
Mr. Bojku, 41, an ethnic Albanian, had been arrested early this
year in the town of Velesta. He escaped in June, and a Montenegrin
police officer captured him in the town of Ulcinj on July 4.
The court in the city of Bitola sentenced him on Thursday to three
years and eight months in prison, said Mirjana Konteska, spokeswoman
for the Interior Ministry.
Mr. Bojku gained international notoriety last year when the cable
television network MSNBC filmed him and some of the young women
under his control in Velesta. He boasted then that his operations
were legal.
He was prosecuted under a Macedonian law prohibiting "mediation
in prostitution." This explained the light sentence, said Zan
Jovanovski, an officer of the Interior Ministry. He said the prosecutor
in Bitola would appeal for a stronger punishment.
