CRIME | Suspected member of Korean prostitution ring arrested

A Korean man approached the police authorities at the airport asking for help over the weekend as he was subjected to illegal detention and physical violence by four other Korean men, one of whom was among the suspects of last week’s major Korean sexual manipulation scandal, said the Judiciary Police (PJ), who have already made an arrest.
The crime came to light after the 22-year-old Korean victim, awaiting his flight at the waiting room, actively sought official assistance from the police officers stationed there. He told them that he had been badly beaten and forced into flying back to Korea by one fellow countryman, reportedly one of the founders of the large-scale Korean prostitution ring busted by PJ last week.
Formerly hired as an interpreter for the syndicate, the victim was placed under illegal detention for hours last Friday after being attacked by the Korean man on bail in an apartment in the NAPE district, together with three other Koreans. Their partnership ceased as the man failed to pay the victim for the time he worked for the group. However, the Korean suspect thought the victim had tipped off the police authorities about their prostitution plot. He then coerced the victim to leave the city.
