Estonian country report Aire Trummal has composed the Estonian country report TRAFFICKING IN CHILDREN FOR SEXUAL PURPOSES IN EUROPE: THE SENDING COUNTRIES (2003). Like in other post-soviet countries, Estonian sex industry started to vigorously develop after the re-independence in the middle of 1990s when the number of brothels and those involved in prostitution increased tremendously. Drug trafficking, prostitution and excise fraud are the main income sources of the organised crime today (Saar, Markina, Ahven, Annist, Ginter 2002:85-98).
