KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation paper (IP) on 34 individuals who were detained in a raid on a swingers sex syndicate in Mont Kiara has been completed.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the IP involving those detained - 18 men and 16 women - has since been submitted to the deputy public prosecutor.
"We submitted the IP on Aug 29.
"We will wait for the decision by the DPP on the next step on the case," he said when contacted on Tuesday (Sept 3).
The two other men detained, believed to be the ring leaders, were still under investigation, he said.
"While we cannot ascertain how many of such syndicates are operating, we are always conducting intelligence gathering to track down syndicates promoting such immoral activities.
"We will monitor the situation closely with various agencies, including Jakim to curb the illegal activities," he said.
Comm Rusdi said the police are also working closely with the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to shut down websites and applications that are against the law.
It was reported that a “swingers” syndicate, which organised group sex for its 147,000 subscribers or “clients”, has been busted with the arrest of 36 people.
It is learnt that the syndicate, which operated online, offered subscribers a chance to swap partners as well as take part in group sex in condominiums around the Klang Valley.
Each customer was charged RM388 to become a subscriber.
The syndicate, led by a Singaporean and a Malaysian, was believed to have been operating since early this year.
After surveillance and intelligence gathering in June, the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID), along with other agencies including the MCMC, raided a condominium in Mont Kiara at about 8.30pm on Aug 25.
CID deputy director Deputy Comm Fadil Marsus had said 34 people – 18 men and 16 women – were detained in the first raid.
“Those detained included university students, civil servants, a French citizen, a Chinese national, a Nigerian, as well as individuals from the Czech Republic and the Philippines.
“The youngest person nabbed was a 19-year-old woman. The woman had joined their events frequently until the syndicate hired her as a co-host of a swingers’ event,” he said.
DCP Fadil said that further investigation led police to a condominium in Puchong, where the Singaporean and Malaysian ringleaders were found.
