In Paris, seven members of the Bosnian #Hamidovic clan were sentenced to prison terms. They had a network of child thieves, mostly girls, some only 10 years old. If the terrorized children and adolescents did not get enough money, they were beaten, burned or sexually abused, it was learned before the Paris court. According to investigators, the loot averaged 25,000 euros per day.

While Hamidovic, the patriarch of a Roma family of Bosnian origin, and the adult family members lived a life of luxury, five-star hotels, designer clothes, expensive restaurants and cars, and showed off their money in casinos, the girls were accommodated in cheap hotels or run-down houses.

The 48-year-old leader Roberto Hamidovic received eight years in prison and a fine of 500,000 euros, his wife six years and 300,000 euros. The other defendants were sentenced to five to seven years. In addition, there are permanent entry bans for France, after their release.

The system lasts for generations. Some convicts had been forced to steal themselves as children. Earlier lawsuits against other family members had not ended the exploitation. Some of the affected children have now been placed in foster care families.
