Amsterdam closes window on its red-light trade

Last week, Amsterdam announced that it is closing down one-third of its famed brothels. Within a matter of months, 52 of the iconic window displays that line the streets of the busy red-light district will disappear. In a deal worth â,¬26-million, officials will buy 18 buildings from Amsterdam’s Emperor of Sex and close down the ”windows”.
