Police in Saudi Arabia have raided two brothels in Riyadh's Al Manakh district and busted a prostitution network.
“Police have arrested two Bangladeshi men who set up two brothels in Al Manakh district, south of Riyadh, where they allegedly lured housemaids to work as sex workers,” Col Shaker Al Tuwaijri, a media spokesman for the Riyadh Police, said, reports Gulf News.
The suspects allegedly lured several housemaids, helped them run away from their sponsors, and recruited them as prostitutes, he added.
The police raided the brothels and arrested seven Bangladeshi men, from different, mostly white-collar backgrounds, and eight women of Asian origin, all in their 40s and 50s, Shaker informed.
They were remanded in police custody before being referred to Public Prosecution.
