Prostitution broker "madam" disguised as coffee shop indicted

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of May 23, Colonel Mai Chien Thang - Deputy Chief of Vinh City Police (Nghe An), said that he had initiated a case and temporarily detained Bui Thi Quyet (born in 1980, residing in Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City) for the crime of Prostitution Brokerage.

According to the investigation agency's documents, the Vinh City Police Department previously established a special project codenamed 315D to combat prostitution disguised as coffee shops and hair salons on Nguyen Gia Thieu and Phong Dinh Cang streets, Hung Dung ward, Vinh City. This is a reality that has been causing headaches for the people in recent times.

After more than a month of undercover and disguised surveillance, monitoring and monitoring the situation, at 10pm on May 13, 2015, more than 20 police officers from Vinh City Police Department coordinated with local ward police to raid 3 kiosks at 25 Nguyen Gia Thieu Street; 260 and 279 Phong Dinh Cang Street. There, 3 couples were caught red-handed buying and selling sex.

From the statements of the subjects involved, the police urgently arrested Pham Thi Quyet, who was identified as the "madam" who brokered prostitution. The 5 girls caught red-handed selling sex and engaging in prostitution were taken to the headquarters for questioning and administrative punishment.

According to Colonel Mai Chien Thang, along Phong Dinh Cang and Nguyen Gia Thieu streets in Hung Dung ward, there are currently about 20 coffee shops suspected of operating under the guise of prostitution. The project will continue to expand the investigation and wipe out these disguised venues in the coming time.
