  1. Data Collection on Traffincking in Human BeingsEstonia Anu Baum Central Criminal Police Bratislava March 26-27 2013

  2. Penal Code • Changes in the Penal Code were done in April 2012, until that, Estonia did not have human trafficking in the Penal Code as a separate crime • Human trafficking was classified as different crimes e.g. mediating prostitution, forcing a minor to prostitution, producing child pornography, enslaving etc • That regulation was not sufficient, especially in cases of work slavery and smuggling; it was also difficult to protect victims of human trafficking in accordance to EU requirements in criminal investigations

  3. Penal Code since 14.04.2012: • § 133. Trafficking in human beings • § 1331. Support to human trafficking • § 1332. Pimping • § 1333. Aiding prostitution • § 134. Abduction • § 175. Human trafficking in order to take advantage of minors

  4. Gathering data and international cooperation • Firstly it should be emphasized, that compared to the situation 10 years ago, there has been a decrease in prostitution and pimping Estonian women to other countries; • Main target countries are Finland, the UK, Germany, the USA, Denmark and Spain. • A new trend could be the increased pressure on out state border – i.e. attempts to cross the border of Estonia and Russia (Estonia and Russia do not have a border agreement).

  5. More specifically • The victim turns to the police themselves • By third parties – mostly NGOs or Social Insurance Board • Cooperation with law enforcement agencies of other countries • Cooperation with managers of portals • Web monitoring • Information gathered by police • Cooperation with Border Guard and the population near the borders

  6. Be territorially categorized: • Tallinn, the capital – where the population is 400 000 and about 8 million tourists visit every year • Borderlands of Estonia-Russia, mostly in the south, where the border is only on the land • Tallinn – Helsinki line.

  7. Future • We do not currently have a set order on how and who has to forward the information - By the end of 2013, the rules of the process information and data exchange should be set – especially the exchange between the Social Insurance Board and Police. • Accept and adjust internal laws with the European Parliament and Council directive 2011/36/EU.
