Previously on14/5/2017, The Criminal Police Department of the Provincial Police discovered and caught red-handed at Dinh Thi Thuy's motel, in rooms 1, 2, 4 and room 6 of the motel, 4 couples of men and women were engaged in prostitution. The authorities made a record and brought the subjects to the agency for questioning.

This is a fairly sophisticated prostitution ring, and the owners are often wary of the authorities. The people are outraged but do not dare to report it for fear of retaliation.

Furthermore, the subject did not record specific activities, the money transfer was not done directly but the customer could pay the owner later. On the other hand, the prostitutes here were also afraid and ashamed so they did not dare to publicly denounce the behavior of the motel owner.

After catching four couples in the act of prostitution at Dinh Thi Thuy's boarding house, Thuy, despite being the landlord and the prostitute, still denied her crime. To consolidate the case file, on May 15, the provincial police department issued an arrest warrant and an emergency search warrant for Thuy.

At the investigation agency, Dinh Thi Thuy confessed to all her actions. Accordingly, Dinh Thi Thuy had 13 small rooms built behind her house in the style of a motel. However, instead of renting them out to guests, Thuy regularly fed and housed 8 to 10 girls who were ready to sell sex to guests when needed.

Whenever there are customers buying sex, Thuy collects 200,000 VND from each customer for one session of prostitution, then pays the prostitute 100,000 VND, and keeps the rest.

The case is currently under further investigation by the authorities.
