Maldives Immigration has conducted raids on four more massage parlours in Male’, detaining five expatriates in the process.

This week, Immigration has searched and closed a total of eight massage parlours, arresting seven expatriates from these establishments. Authorities have not confirmed whether any of the parlours raided last night were also shut down.
Massage parlours in the capital have long been suspected of operating as fronts for prostitution, with some expatriates reportedly promoting such services on social media
