In Novosibirsk, a couple organized two brothels under the guise of massage parlors

The criminal enterprise was characterized by strict secrecy. Access was provided solely by appointment and for verified customers. Security was monitored around the clock by administrators. The weekly income of the organizers exceeded one million rubles. The owners personally selected the staff, betting on vulnerable people: among the employees, operatives found a 17-year-old girl and an illegal migrant.

Security forces detained the owners, administrators and four “massage artists”. During searches in the dens and apartments of the defendants, the police found computer equipment, communications and about 1.5 million rubles in cash.

For involvement in prostitution, including a minor, investigators opened a criminal case. The court placed the couple in custody, their accomplice under house arrest, and mid-level staff released on a travel ban. "Massage players" were handed administrative protocols.

Earlier, “MK in Novosibirsk” reported that two residents of Novosibirsk will serve time for pimping conditionally.
