Criminality

Last resort

A Ukrainian sex slave escaped captivity by jumping from the third floor of an apartment block in Thessaloniki, police said yesterday. The 22-year-old woman was seriously injured but her life was not in danger, the source said. She was hospitalized on Saturday in the second such incident in a week. An 18-year-old woman from Lithuania is in a Thessaloniki hospital with severe spine injuries after jumping from the first floor of a hotel in the town of Veria, where traffickers had forced her into prostitution.
