KUALA LUMPUR: A married couple was arrested at a hotel in Shah Alam on Tuesday (July 1) for alleged involvement in prostitution and the distribution of pornographic videos via social media.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the couple, aged 34, was detained at 8pm by a team from the D7 (Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies) division of the Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the husband acted as the content creator, promoting and selling pornographic videos featuring his wife and their clients, while also managing a prostitution ring to generate income.
"His wife acted as the prostitute, playing the lead role in the videos. They earned up to RM6,400 a week," he said.
"They targeted clients via the X platform to sell their pornographic videos, while prostitution activities were coordinated through Telegram," he said in a statement on Wednesday (July 2).
Rusdi added that their fees ranged from RM450 to RM800 at a four-star hotel, while pornographic videos were priced at RM50 and RM150.
"The couple has been remanded for three days until July 4. The case is being investigated under Sections 372(1), 372B and 372A of the Penal Code, as well as Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998," he said. - Bernama

MACC nabs 'Datuk' for allegedly laundering millions of ringgit

PETALING JAYA: A company director with the title of Datuk has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly laundering millions of ringgit. The suspect, who is in his 50s, was arrested as part of a probe into money laundering activities amounting to around RM75mil. The director was arrested on Wednesday (July 2) after he presented himself at the MACC headquarters. He was then remanded on Thursday (July 3) for four days until July 6. "The suspect is believed to have committed the act in 2012 for the approval of a RM400mil loan for a fibre network development project. "Initial investigations believe that RM75mil was channeled to a company owned by the suspect," sources said. The arrest was a part of follow up actions under Ops Fibre. On June 30, the MACC had raided four locations in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur that belonged to the suspect. "The MACC has also frozen 12 bank accounts, both personal and corporate, worth around RM400,000," the source added. MACC Special Operations Division senior director Datuk Mohamad Zamri Zainul Abidin confirmed the arrest when contacted, adding that investigations were being conducted under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (AMLATFPUAA) 2001.
