Nine Chinese “massage” girls held in Kuwait

Kuwaiti police have arrested nine Chinese women for using their skills in massages as a cover up apparently for prostitution targeting old men, the Kuwaiti Arabic language daily Alanba reported on Sunday.

The nine began to stalk old men at coffee shops in Kuwait City and bring them to three apartments they had rented in the capital for this purpose, it said.

“They were telling the old men that their services will make them young again,” the paper said, quoting colonel Abdul Rahman Al Suhail, director of the criminal investigation section in Houli area in the capital.

“They were charging between 20 and 30 dinars per person…they were offering massages and other illegal services.”

Police said the nine had been staying in Kuwait on visit visas, adding that they would be deported after the completion of investigation.

The companies that had brought the nine women could be banned from new visas for a long time, the paper said.
