Saudi Arabia’s religious police smashed a major prostitution ring managed by an agent of the feared police force.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice raided a suspected house in the western town of Makkah and arrested several women and men.

The force also seized the ring’s manager, who had worked for the Commission for nearly 12 years to report vice activities in the city.

“It was the biggest vice ring busted by the police in Makkah…it is managed by a Pakistani man recruited by the Commission for 12 years to report vice activities in the city,” Kabar daily said.

“The man confessed to managing the ring and said he was reporting prostitution activities to the Commission just to remove his rivals.”
