In 2022, a gang in Domažlice, Czech Republic, was found guilty of orchestrating a series of violent robberies targeting German nationals. The group used sexual services as a lure to entice their victims, who were then assaulted and threatened in different ways, including coercing them to withdraw money from ATMs or fabricating accusations related to underage sexual activity. Consequently, at least nine German victims reported losses of both cash and valuables, including jewelry.

The court, led by chairman Jan Špeta, issued sentences ranging from six to seven and a half years for the men who physically assaulted the victims, while accomplices, including prostitutes who acted as decoys, received five-year sentences. However, the court's ruling is not yet final. The violence inflicted upon the victims was severe enough that some required medical attention, and others ended up needing psychological treatment following their traumatic experiences.

This case sheds light on the rising issue of organized crime targeting tourists and foreigners in the Czech Republic, particularly concerning illegal activities that exploit vulnerability and trust. As these crimes continue to gain attention, it raises questions about the effectiveness of law enforcement in protecting visitors and maintaining a safe environment for everyone in tourist areas. Further implications might include a push for more stringent legal measures and preventative strategies to combat such criminal enterprises.
