I thought Italy was much more liberal when it came to prostitution and sexuality??

Not a lot of details... maybe it's an issue of human trafficking?

In Italy, prostitution itself is legal, but the law prohibits organized prostitution (brothels, prostitution rings or similar commercial enterprises and other forms of pimping).[46] In 2008 the Government approved a law proposal by one of its ministry to forbid street prostitution but the proposal has never been converted into law so street prostitution is still legal in Italy and is very common. Italy is listed by the UNDOC as a top destination for victims of human trafficking.[10]

Seems pathetic to me that they use police time and resources to smash a ring when Brazilian transexuals have been doing the Italy run for more than two decades. They never needed an organised crime ring when simple networking among the girls would arrange accomodation, money loaned for the flights etc, although the existence of transexual syndicates within Brazil might also complicate this picture. Nevertheless, in the same amount of time since the Brazilians started arriving in the late 70s, billions of Euros have disappeared into the pockets of the 'ndrangheta, the Mafia and the other crime syndicates, and all the Italians have got to show for it are unfinished motorways, buildings that collapse if you blow hard enough on them, and above all, in too many places, a lack of hope, that things will ever change.
