A woman is claimed to be the mastermind of a high-class prostitution ring in Melaka.

The woman, who is in her 40s, has apparently been prostituting female teenagers around the state to VIP customers.

The matter was revealed by Bakri UMNO division vice-chief Datuk Mohamed Mustafa Abdul Kadir on Monday.

He also claimed that a politician with a Datuk Seri title, was running the syndicate together with the said woman.

Mustafa said the woman herself had informed him that girls as young as 14 years old were being prostituted to VIPs for a price between RM2,000 and RM5,000 a night.

He also claimed some of the girls were forced to video their sexual acts for sale.

Mustafa claimed he remained close to the syndicate to find out their modus operandi.

And now, he is calling for the authorities to fully investigate the case.
