Madrid - Scantily dressed prostitutes in a popular Madrid park should not be ordered to cover up because they are simply wearing the uniform of their profession, according to the capital's chief public prosecutor.
Mr Mariano Fernando Bermejo rejected a proposal to charge prostitutes with the offence of indecent exposure, El Pais newspaper said yesterday. The idea was put forward by a police chief outraged at the women's state of undress day and night in the Casa de Campo. The park is a well-known centre of prostitution but is also home to an amusement park, a zoo, soccer pitches and restaurants. Strolling families can sometimes come face to face with near naked men or women.
