An extraordinary Russian video shows how police storm an ‘illegal’ sex club as most punters try to hide their faces after being ordered to lie face down.
A commanding officer is heard telling his colleagues: ‘It’s a BDSM club, you can make it hurt.’
The extraordinary scene is believed to be from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, although police have refused to name the exact location.
Russian police stormed an ‘illegal’ sex club as most punters and workers try to hide their faces after being ordered to lie face down
The club is believed to be in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, but police have not confirmed the exact location
One state-run Russian TV channel commented: ‘Footage shows barely naked women – and fully clothed men – lying on the floor, while operatives search through the area’
Other claims are that the large busted BDSM club was in Vladivostok or Khabarovsk in the Russian far east.
One state-run Russian TV channel commented: ‘Footage shows barely naked women – and fully clothed men – lying on the floor, while operatives search through the area.’
An officer is heard quizzing a club staffer – called ‘chef’ – over the identity and whereabouts of the BDSM club’s boss.
There was no report from Rostov-on-Don police saying they had stormed this sex club – or why
Russian police wore black balaclavas during the raid which reportedly occurred on November 4 this year
The interior of the ‘illegal’ BDSM club – reportedly in Rostov-on-Don – is damaged, but it is unclear if this happened during the raid
‘He just leaves the money for us,’ said the chef. ‘He is not here.’
Police wore black balaclavas for the raid which took place earlier this month, in which they found numerous sex toys, including a dildo attached to a power drill, studded belts and costumes.
There was no report from Rostov-on-Don police saying they had stormed this sex club – or why.
But a source said: ‘The BDSM club was stormed as long ago as 4 November.
‘Normally police raids clubs which offer escort services because this is prohibited in Russia.
‘Also, when it happens police normally report it straight away.
Those inside the club attempted to hide their faces from cameras so as not to be identified during the raid
A commanding police officer is heard telling his colleagues: ‘It’s a BDSM club, you can make it hurt’
The raid’s location was suspiciously not recorded by police, which could mean the club paid them not to take action or that they did not provide escort services
‘This time, unusually, there was no denial about the video, but the region where it happened was kept secret.
‘Which means that either the club paid police (not to take action) or they did not provide escort services.’
If so, ‘they were legal -and there was no reason for the storming’.
The BDSM club was clearly quite popular as there were dozens of punters and workers inside at the time of the raid
