Nataree staff ‘bribed police for Hwai Kwang immunity cards’.

THE NATAREE massage parlour scandal could implicate more officials as the ongoing investigation uncovers incriminating evidence of bribery.
A source said yesterday the entertainment venue staff must have been paying protection fees to policemen or officials because it employed foreign masseuses who were working illegally.

"These masseuses carried a blue card with an emblem of a lion on it. They have said they paid Bt1,000 a month to get such a card for immunity against any arrest or harassment by state officials," the source said, adding the masseuses had been told they could show the card when in trouble to officials or police in the Huai Khwang area only.

The source said not all masseuses carried the same blue card with some appearing to carry different-looking cards, raising speculation that each emblem on the card showed the agency that illegitimately provided protection. Another card carried the emblem of a tiger. Rumours have spread that many state agencies were involved in bribery by unregistered migrant workers, who might also have engaged in illegal sex work.

Last Tuesday, a taskforce from the Interior Ministry led police in a raid of the massage parlour in Bangkok's Huai Khwang district and detained 77 foreign women.

Authorities have since investigated whether they and their employer engaged in underage prostitution, human trafficking and bribery. In the wake of the scandal, Metropolitan Police Division 1 commander Maj-General Wichanwat Borirakkul, whose jurisdiction covers the Huai Khwang area, has received a transfer order.
