Prostitution in Italy: Defending Against Exploitation Charges

In Italy, prostitution is not considered a crime in itself, but the exploitation of prostitution is a criminal activity that is severely punished by law. This can include activities such as aiding, managing brothels, and other forms of control or profit from the prostitution activities of others.

The Regulatory Framework

Italian law, through the Merlin Law of 1958, closed brothels and criminalized the exploitation of prostitution. The penalties for such crimes can be very severe, with sanctions including imprisonment and heavy fines.

Elements of the Crime

  • Aiding: Any action that facilitates or promotes prostitution.
  • Exploitation: Profiting from someone else's prostitution.
  • Management of prostitution venues: Organizing or managing a place where prostitution is practiced.
"Anyone who exploits another's prostitution is punished with imprisonment from two to six years and fined from 258 to 10,329 euros."
