A special constable and his Hungarian wife are facing jail after they made a fortune trafficking girls from Hungary to a Chelsea apartment block dubbed ‘10 Floors of W****s’.
Ivett Szuda, 32, and Karl Ring, 34, enjoyed luxury lifestyles on the cash they made from their sex workers at Chelsea Cloisters - owned by Tory donor Christopher Moran.
Szuda used the Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air to fly women into London from Budapest as they made more than £600,000 from the vice trade.
Mother-of-two Szuda was the point of contact for Hungarian women who answered online adverts offering work for prostitutes.
Ivett Szuda, 32, and Karl Ring, 34, made large amounts of money by setting up the scheme in the Chelsea apartment block
Szuda and Ring paid more than £100,000 in rent for apartments for the girls to use in Chelsea - including a flat at 574 Chelsea Cloisters.
The couple also ran a website called Kensington Angels that advertised more than 100 prostitutes.
The women were told they could make up to £300 a day and would split half their earnings with the couple, Isleworth Crown Court heard.
Szuda said shd did not believe there was anything wrong with what she was doing, since the sex workers were happy with the arrangement.
But after a six week trial a jury convicted Szuda of two charges of trafficking for sexual and four of arranging or facilitating travel for sexual exploitation, all by a majority of 10-2.

She was also found guilty of 11 counts of controlling sexual exploitation in respect of nine women who cannot be named.
Ring and Szuda were both found guilty of controlling prostitution for gain and possessing criminal property.
Ring was also convicted of six counts of sexual exploitation for gain and one count of arranging or facilitating travel for exploitation.
But they were cleared of controlling prostitution for gain in respect of their nanny while Ring alone was cleared of six further charges of controlling prostitution for gain and one trafficking charge.
Judge Robin Johnson told the jury: ‘I thank you for your service in what was a long case and one that matters to a lot of people’.
The pair will be sentenced at a later date.
Prosecutor Ian Mcloughlin said the pair lived a life of luxury.
‘Both defendants liked the good things in life.
‘Gold jewellery, expensive clothes, luxury holidays.’
The rent for the Chelsea Cloisters apartment was paid each month from Ms Szuda’s bank account and the occupier was listed as Szuda’s mother.
Jurors heard Szuda organised parties in the flat as well as cocaine fuel jaunts to exclusive Chelsea nightclubs.
A 25-year-old Hungarian sex worker said 70 per cent of her work was in Chelsea Cloisters and 30 per cent was in nightspots such as Juju and RiffRaff.

She was ferried to the clubs by Szuda who was ‘basically collecting clients for us.’
The worker told the court that she would argue with Szuda over money as well as clubbing.
She said: ‘I did not want to go to a pretty girl club and I did not want to do drugs.’
The woman said that Szuda was friends with a dealer who supplied cocaine to the girls countless times.
She said: ‘Eva was snorting and he was too.
‘He (the dealer) was snorting the drugs and we were given some as well and then we went to the disco.’
She recalled how the Chelsea Cloisters apartment stank and said: ‘You can smell the smells you can actually smell a lot of people having sex.
‘It was dirty.
‘I did not even want lean against the wall and there was a palm mark against the wall and this indicated that they were having sex and he had put his sweaty hand against the wall.’
She told the court that she was given the biggest room and that Szuda told her that the room nearest the bathroom was usually reserved for English girls.
Another woman said she worked as a prostitute in Hungary and Austria before moving to London in September 2016.
She found an advert on a website called Redlife offering sex work and Szuda, using the name ‘Eva’, met her outside Chelsea Cloisters.
‘She showed me around the flat and she offered me two rooms.
‘The smaller room was £60 per day and the bigger one for £80 per day.’
She explained that Szuda gave her a key to the flat at Chelsea Cloisters, which operated like a hotel.

‘The hotel had a reception and it worked like a hotel system but the rooms had kitchens and bathrooms,’ she said.
‘They were basically hotel apartments.
‘There was another girl when I arrived and she was doing sex work and there was another one who was just doing massage only.
‘Everyone had their own rooms.’
But she said business was so bad for her that she went back to Hungary after six days.
Another woman working for the couple went on holidays with Szuda and other prostitutes to the Bahamas and Miami as ‘team building exercises’.
She said she even went on a holiday to Egypt with Szuda and her mother.
When the couple were arrested on 27 June last year at their £740,000 home in Elthorne Avenue, Hanwell, west London, police found £20,000 in a cashbox at the address.
One woman claimed that she became a sex worker after the couple hired her as a nanny and told the court: ‘There came a time when my family’s finances became worse.
‘I was taken to Chelsea Cloisters, I stayed there and started to work.
‘I gave half my money to Yvette and Karl, I worked from 10 to 9 for five months.’
‘On a good day I would see three to four clients a day, I earned £60 from each.’
Szuda denied that the nanny ever worked for them as a prostitute and said that she was like a ‘little sister’ to her.
Ring and Szuda, of Elthorne Avenue, both denied 12 counts of controlling prostitution for gain, four counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation and one count of possessing criminal property.
Szuda alone denied three counts of arranging or facilitating travel with the view to exploitation.
The charges dated from between January 1, 2011 and June 27 last year.
