Groningen refused leave to close brothels
The council of state has told Groningen city council it cannot shut down five brothels because it has not made a proper case for closure.
The council wants to withdraw the operating permits, saying the owner does not meet its integrity guidelines.
Amsterdam city council is also actively involved in withdrawing brothel licences if they suspect the owner has criminal connections.
