Indrek Mandre has been arrested in his home country with accusation of organized prostitution and organized sex crimes in Greece and Luxembourg.

According to TV2 , Mandre provided women to strip clubs "Dreams" in Bergen and Trondheim until last spring.

The manager of the strip clubs denies that women working as a stripper at his clubs are victims of trafficking and prostitution. He remarked that they are shocked about their partner's arrest and suggested they have a long list of people who want to work at their clubs because of good working conditions.

Last year, a group of female politicians in Norway had prepared a proposal for prohibiting strip clubs in the country. -Stripping Bars foster human trafficking and degrades women, said female politicians in the Labor Party(Ap), Centre Party(Sp), Socialist Party(SV) and Rød. 

Martin Hammer(SV) had stated that striptease is a part of dirty business and consolidates the image of woman as an object.
