AIDS-hit Filipino running massage parlour

Scores said to be infected after ‘having fun’

KUWAIT CITY, Feb 22: Personnel from the General Department of Residence Investigations raided a massage institute run by a Filipino, arrested him and referred him to the concerned authorities because the man is allegedly suffering from AIDS, reports Al-Rai daily.

The arrest came when a teenager who is less than 15 years old told his family that he went to a massage parlor and the masseur lured him and committed an immoral act.

The family reported the matter to security authorities and following the arrest of the Filipino, he admitted that he is HIV positive and has told police he had ‘sex’ with several people and gave names and telephone numbers of some of them while the names of others he said he does not remember.

Police also found in the parlor a special room which the suspect had prepared specially for the purpose of ‘having fun’.

According to sources police have checked the CCTV footage of the camera installed in the parlor to identify all people who visited the parlor.

The detectives also summoned the sponsor, who was found to have received 500 dinars as a guarantee, from the Filipino to run the parlor.

60 and above to go:

The Ministry of Interior has begun the process of summoning officers including senior officials who have reached the age of 60 and above and those who meet the conditions for retirement, especially after the recent promotions of officers from the rank of colonel to brigadier, reports Al-Rai daily.

A source familiar with the issue said a brigadier was summoned and asked to submit a request for retirement.

Victim of e-fraud:

Although several times it has been reported in newspapers and all media channels warning expatriates and Kuwaitis not to fall prey to those who impersonate bank employees and ask for their bank accounts numbers and pertaining details, the Kuwaiti allegedly did follow that and ended up losing the money.

After the victim filed a complaint with the

Riqqa Police Station, the case has been handed over to the Electronic Crimes Investigation Department of the Ministry of Interior.

This time the suspect allegedly succeeded in convincing his victim that he will not be able to use his ATM card unless he updates it within 60 seconds and that the bank will freeze his account.
