COPENHAGEN - Danish police are investigating the inner workings of the 'Nonstop Bio Cinerotic' porn cinema, which rents out rooms to Nigerian sex slaves in Copenhagen's red light district. Until very recently, one of the directors of the cinema was Guy Paquot, a Belgian knight and top executive of the Belgian listed holding company 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.
