COPENHAGEN - Danish police are investigating the ins and outs of the porn cinema shop ‘Nonstop Bio Cinerotic, which rents out rooms to Nigerian sex slaves in Copenhagen's red light district. One of the directors of the sex cinema shop was until very recently - in a personal capacity - Belgian knight Guy Paquot, top executive of the Belgian listed holding compagny Compagnie du Bois Sauvage nv.

Since October 2006, his name has appeared repeatedly in the Danish press, along with that of another former board member of the same holding company, Dane Richard Dawids. What are supposedly top businessmen doing in Copenhagen's prostitution scene? Freelance journalist Marleen Teugels went into Copenhagen's red light district and, with the help of Danish investigative journalist Brigitte Alfter, used the Danish Freedom of Information Act to find out.
