After bust, cosmetics shops under scrutiny
Less than a week after the arrest of alleged beauty parlour madam Chan Sreynuch, military police say they are taking a closer look at a number of hair salons and beauty shops in Phnom Penh suspected of being involved in human trafficking and prostitution.
According to General Sao Sokha, commander of National Military Police and deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, salons and cosmetics stores are not uncommon fronts for prostitution and trafficking rings. ...
Sokha maintained that Sreynuch’s Mikasa Coiffure and Beauty Shop – which was raided last week for allegedly housing a high-end prostitution ring – was just the tip of the iceberg, and that many shops like it had secretly provided sex services for rich customers.
