A high-end madam who boasted she used cops as security and made millions by peddling flesh — including underage girls — to rich and powerful clients has been busted after a five-year probe, prosecutors said.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office indicted petite, blond, green-eyed Anna Gristina, 44, in a corruption investigation that amassed 50 to 100 hours of audio and video recordings, some showing prostitutes doing the deed, according to court records.

“We have had at least one eyewitness account of someone that has been obviously present for a sexual encounter arranged by (Gristina) for one of her clients in which minors were involved in the encounter,” Assistant District Attorney Charles Linehan said at her Feb. 23 arraignment.
Prosecutors said they caught Gristina, a suburban mom with four children, boasting that she had collaborators in law enforcement who were willing to tip her off if investigators were closing in on her.

She was recorded bragging that contacts were “poised to help her out, to let her know if there is trouble on the front that she needs to be concerned about, particularly back during the Eliot Spitzer investigation,” Linehan said.
The DA’s unit on official corruption, which usually investigates crooked cops and dirty public officials, brought the potentially explosive investigation to an end while Gristina was meeting with a partner — who worked at investment banking firm Morgan Stanley — and discussing expanding her business.
Gristina, also known as Anna Scotland, apparently made a fortune from her prostitution ring and amassed a slew of high-powered contacts.
