Cops nab 36 in raid on condo ‘swingers’ party’

Police have arrested 36 people, including university students and civil servants during a raid on a syndicate that organised swingers’ parties.

The group, aged between 19 and 41, comprised 14 Malaysian men and 15 Malaysian women, and an individual each from France, China, the Czech Republic, Nigeria, and the Philippines.

They were detained in a raid on a condominium in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur last Sunday.

Two men, a Malaysian and a Singaporean, believed to be running the syndicate, were arrested in a condominium in Puchong, Selangor on Tuesday.

“Among them are civil servants and students of institutions of higher learning. All of them have been remanded for four days to assist in investigations,” Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (Intelligence/Operations) deputy director Fadil Marsus told a media conference today.

The syndicate, believed to be active since early this year, offered online subscription services through a portal.

Fadil said police also seized various items, such as sex toys, computers and cash, and investigations showed the ring had 147,000 subscribers.

“Most are Malaysians. This is worrying indeed. Those who want to join are screened first via a video call.

“Once approved, they can then come (to the swingers’ party) and the syndicate will inform them of the location a day before the event is held,” he said.

Fadil said proposed charges will be made under Section 372A of the Penal Code for promoting, publishing and offering prostitution services as well as Section 424 of the Penal Code for allowing others to use their bank accounts.

He added that investigations will also be conducted under Section 377D of the Penal Code for violating decency and extreme obscenity; Section 377A of the Penal Code for committing unnatural intercourse and Section 292 of the Penal Code for possessing obscene material.

“They will be charged soon,” he said, adding that police will continue to carry out similar operations to curb immoral activities.
