A thirty-year-old from the canton of Bern was recently fined 11,000 francs for paying a sex worker with counterfeit money. In June 2024, he handed over 900 francs in cash after spending three hours with her. But in the wad of 100 franc notes, only the first one was true. All the ones below were counterfeits. The Bernese public prosecutor found him guilty of fraud and putting counterfeit money into circulation. The man must also pay the missing 800 francs to the injured party.
The fraudster was also convicted of traffic violations. In fact, he had not returned his license plates on time after losing his license for driving under the influence of drugs. His previous suspended fine, imposed in February 2023, has been revoked.
This type of fraud is not an isolated case in this industry, according to the national sex worker rights network Procore. The organization regularly reports cases of clients who allow themselves not to pay for services rendered. The network emphasizes the importance of legally protecting victims from this type of abuse.
