CIB said that during initial questioning, the 46-year-old Singaporean man, identified as Leow, admitted to recruiting Thai women for prostitution in Singapore since 2019.
He identified the 42-year-old Singaporean, referred to as Aaron, as his business partner.
The network, known as Lover’s Fortress, allegedly used websites to recruit Thai women for prostitution in Singapore, according to Thai police.
Leow also told investigators that the network used Telegram, LINE and WhatsApp to communicate with customers.
The 37-year-old Thai woman, identified by CIB as Aphaphon, told police that she was Leow’s wife and had been responsible for running the network’s online storefront, finding customers and coordinating with agencies and accommodation providers.
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old Thai woman – identified by CIB as Nanthani – said she had lent her bank account to another person but maintained that she did not know what it would be used for.
The 35-year-old Thai man, identified by CIB as Pongsakorn, admitted to working as an administrator who responded to customer enquiries and edited photographs of women in the network under Aphaphon’s instructions, according to Thai police.
