Police shut brothel after prostitute’s suicide

Tel Aviv District police issue a closure order against a brothel in the city after a prostitute who worked at the site took her own life earlier this month.

Police say the order isn’t due to the suicide at Rehov Hayarkon 98 but rather because local residents complained that the brothel is disruptive and damaging their quality of life.

The building is shut down under a technicality enabling police to limit the use of a premises.

Police say it is the second time that a closure order is issued for the place, but the previous order was annulled in court.
