President Muizzu Cracks Down on Brothels Disguised as Massage Parlours, 52 Shut in One Week
President Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced a crackdown on illegal massage parlours in Malé City, saying 52 establishments were shut within one week under a special multi-agency operation launched on the 9th of the month. He said inspections as of the 16th forced 24 closures while 28 shut voluntarily, around 10 illegally present foreign nationals were apprehended for deportation, and night operations would continue until the issue is fully addressed.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
