There are still no signs of authorities in Honiara investigating the alleged Asian organized prostitution ring while at the same time the number of Asian girls brought into the country as part of the prostitution racket has gone up.
No Probe in Solomons Prostitution Share. It is believed that the number has gone up by four or five after more arrivals since the issue was last made publicly known. However sources within the Police, Immigration, and Labour now have an interest in the issue and are following it up closely, although there is no official investigation into the issue.
Sources within the Immigration and Labour Department have told the National Express that while they would have any official investigation into the alleged racket, at this stage, they would not rule it out. The sources informed National Express that it was not possible for them to detect anything connected to this possibility, based on documents provided to the Departments of Labour and Immigration, to bring in these girls from overseas because they may have appeared to be legally in order and complying with legal requirements.
The sources said that for this reason, the two departments had no basis to reject any such applications but they admitted that the alleged prostitution activities involving imported Chinese girls from Mainland China could be a possibility.
Meanwhile, our sources say that they have identified three residential houses believed to be used by the prostitution racket. National Express was informed that one house was on the Tandai Highway, one in the Town Ground area, and the other in the Panatina area this one being manned by security guards. It is difficult to determine from reports gathered so far whether or not the three residential houses are used by the same alleged prostitution racket that import Chinese girls from Mainland China or different groups operating separately.
