Five interior ministry staff have been arrested on charges of taking bribes from operators of underground brothels and illegal bars, United Arab Emirates newspapers reported on Thursday.The men, aged between 19 and 24, are Emirati inspectors with the Criminal and Investigative Directorate, a branch of the interior ministry. An anti-corruption undercover team rounded up the five security personnel, along with three Asian nationals who served as their informers, after complaints they posed as security officers and extorted money from illegal brothels and alcohol vendors in Abu Dhabi, capital of the oil-rich UAE. The eight have allegedly confessed to carrying out raids on these venues and extorting money from the owners, according to The National. Posted by: Fred 2008-12-05 |
