from www.thesun.co.uk – THE lapdance bar where rocker RONNIE WOOD wooed his Russian waitress has been busted – as a BROTHEL.
Vice cops swooped to arrest a father and son accused of running the Capricorn Club as a £1million-a-year sex and drugs den.
Last night 18 girls – many of them foreign – were being questioned to find out if they were being held as sex slaves.
Police found cocaine at the club in West London’s upmarket Goodge Street – and seized a knife and knuckle-duster from the dad’s car.
The Met’s Detective Inspector John Anderson raged: “These shady dealings were blatantly going on.”
He declared the venue now SHUT, adding: “Those running the club have lost a lucrative and immoral source of income.”
The raid comes 15 months after The Sun revealed randy Ronnie, 62, was cheating on wife JO, 54, with a 19-year-old Moscow waitress he met there.
There is no suggestion the ROLLING STONE’s new love EKATERINA IVANOVA was among girls said to be charging £250 for sex.
The dramatic swoop followed a six-month undercover operation codenamed Vermilion and was accompanied by raids on eight other addresses.
A total of £26,000 in cash was seized – and five others arrested, two of them women.
All remained in custody last night as police also grilled them about money-laundering. Chief Supt Richard Martin said: “They face up to seven years behind bars.”
