Busting a prostitution ring involving beauty queens in HCMC
To show the bros how serious the authorities are about busting organized prostitution rings, below is a rough translation of a news article in May 2015.
Vice cops investigated this prostitution ring in HCMC for a few months, then followed them as they flew high-class beauty queens from HCMC to Quang Ninh for clients. The cops caught the 2 couples in the acts, having sex in their hotel rooms. Fines for the men were between US $25 to $50. Foreigners would most likely face deportation and visa restrictions. Fines for prostitutes are much lighter, between warnings to US $15, but repeat offenders are usually sent to correctional prisons for 3 years or more.
Discretion is well advised.

2 Hanoi's big-shot businessmen procured sex with "female jewel" for US $ 7,000 a night. How much were the fines?
28/ May /2015 23:48:01.
Immediately after being caught committing acts of prostitution at the hotel, the two couples were taken to investigating authorities for written statements and administrative fines.
As previously reported, afternoon 25/5, at a hotel in Ha Long (Quang Ninh), undercover police C45 caught two couples having paid sex acts. Soon, "mamasan" Tran Duc Thuy Lien (30 years old) was arrested while waiting at the hotel lobby for the businessmen to get money.
Of the 2 "long legs" being arrested, one is a former runner up beauty queen in the contest of a University in Hanoi and was dubbed "pearl female" for her exquisite beauty.
The other beauty was brought in by "mamasan" Thuy Lien as a "stand in," since a beauty queen, previously ordered by the businessman, had broken the "contract".
All "long legs" and "big shot businessmen" were taken to police headquarters for investigation to clarify. Here, after the written commitment not to repeat the violations, 4 persons were released, waiting for summons when necessary.
According to information on Zing, the authorities refused to release information about the fines they had to pay, but said each was fined "several hundred thousands".
Identities of the 2 big-shot businessmen who booked sex tours with the beauty queens in Halong were also unveiled. "They are the two wealthiest businessmen in Hanoi, a 34-year-old, his friend 29" - representative of Bureau 9, C45 said.
Under the laws, fines for procuring prostitutes are:
1. A fine of 500,000 to 1,000,000 for procuring prostitutes.
2. A fine of 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 for procuring prostitutes for group sex.
3. A fine of between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 for enticing or coercing others to procure prostitutes.
Besides, the laws also clearly state: "A warning or a fine between VND 100,000 and VND 300,000 for offering acts of prostitution".
Thus, although the police office does not release the amount of the "long legs'" administrative fines, it can be estimated a warning or a fine of 100,000 VND to 300,000 VND was given the prostitutes.
In an interview on newspaper " Investment" on the issue of sanctioning buyers and sellers of sex acts, Vietnamese lawyer LE Ha, Director of law firm partnership Vinh Duc (City Bar Association. Hanoi) said: It is difficult to determine what is "depraved nature", thus can only fine up to 1 million.
Related to the incident, and police departments also urgently searched for Doan Thi Ngoc Minh (25 years old, in Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City), who is said to specialize in brokering high-class prostitutes, organizing " sex tour " throughout Vietnam for big-shot businessmen.
In early May, Lien and Minh received "orders" from the 2 big-shot businessmen of Hanoi in the amount US $ 14,000 for 2 days. The men requested a beauty queen, well-known singer and actress, but she canceled at the last minute, so "mamasan" found an unknown "long legs" to stand in.
Lien confessed of planning to pay only US $2000 for each girl for two days and taking the rest. However, the subjects were all arrested before receiving full payment.
