Police bust alleged sex trafficking syndicate exploiting children, generating RM450,000 monthly

In a significant crackdown, Malaysian police dismantled the 'Geng Yunaa' syndicate involved in child prostitution and trafficking following 'Ops Angel' in the Klang Valley, detaining seven individuals under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012.

This group, operational since early 2024, exploited local and foreign minors via Telegram for sexual services, generating significant illicit profits.

The operation also resulted in the seizure of items linked to the prostitution activities, and efforts continue to apprehend an at-large group member.

The case will proceed with charges under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code as referred by the Attorney-General's Chambers.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 — Police have crippled ‘Geng Yunaa’, believed to be involved in 17 cases of child prostitution and trafficking for sexual exploitation, following ‘Ops Angel’ in the Klang Valley from Sept 24 to 26.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk M. Kumar said seven individuals, aged between 18 and 44, were detained under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA) until tomorrow.

He said two other group members were already being held at Kajang Prison and Henry Gurney School in Melaka for offences related to child trafficking and prostitution.

“The group carried out sexual exploitation through prostitution by recruiting local teenagers, foreign nationals and underage children, who were exploited and made victims of prostitution in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

“To attract customers, the group used the Telegram application to promote prostitution services, with an estimated 20 to 30 sex workers operating daily,” he said in a statement today.

Kumar said customers were charged between RM200 and RM350, depending on the package and service location. Payments were believed to have been made in cash or through Touch ‘n Go or banking QR codes to prostitution agents linked to the group.

He said the group was believed to have served about 100 customers daily, collecting RM150 from each customer, while the remainder was paid to the individuals being exploited.

Based on these estimates, the group could generate RM15,000 a day, or RM450,000 a month, equivalent to RM5.4 million a year if the activity continued at the same rate.

“This activity is deeply concerning because it not only involves trafficking in human beings for profit but also exploits children, who should be protected from abuse and sexual exploitation.

“More worryingly, the sexual exploitation of underage children can leave long-lasting psychological trauma, damage their emotional, moral and social development, and affect their future,” he said.

Kumar said Geng Yunaa, which had been active since early 2024, comprised 10 members aged between 18 and 44 and was led by a 30-year-old local man.

During the operation, police also seized various items believed to be linked to prostitution activities, including 14 mobile phones, six boxes of contraceptive medication, towels and lubricating gel.

“Checks found that several of those arrested had previous records for various offences, including prostitution, human trafficking, drug distribution and fraud.

“We have also identified another group member who remains at large, and efforts to track down the suspect are ongoing,” he said.

Kumar said the investigation papers had been referred to the Serious Crimes Unit of the Attorney-General’s Chambers, which had agreed that nine members of the group be charged under Section 130V(1) of the Penal Code at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court tomorrow. — Bernama

在一次重大打击行动中，马来西亚警方在巴生谷开展了“天使行动”，捣毁了参与儿童卖淫和贩卖的“Geng Yunaa”犯罪集团，并根据2012年《安全罪行（特别措施）法》拘留了7名嫌疑人。

该团伙自 2024 年初开始运作，通过 Telegram 向本地和外国未成年人提供性服务，从中牟取暴利。

此次行动还缴获了与卖淫活动有关的物品，目前仍在努力抓捕一名在逃的团伙成员。

该案将按照总检察署移交的刑事诉讼法第 130V(1) 条的规定提起诉讼。

吉隆坡，10 月 22 日讯——警方在 9 月 24 日至 26 日于巴生谷开展的“天使行动”中，成功打击了涉嫌参与 17 起儿童卖淫和贩卖人口进行性剥削案件的“耿尤娜”。

武吉阿曼刑事调查部主任拿督M. Kumar表示，根据2012年《安全罪行（特别措施）法令》（SOSMA），七名年龄介于18岁至44岁的人士被拘留至明日。

他说，该团伙的另外两名成员因与贩卖儿童和卖淫有关的罪行，已被关押在加影监狱和马六甲的亨利·格尼学校。

“该团伙通过招募当地青少年、外国公民和未成年儿童，在雪兰莪和吉隆坡进行性剥削，迫使他们卖淫，使他们沦为卖淫的受害者。

“为了吸引顾客，该团伙利用 Telegram 应用程序宣传卖淫服务，估计每天有 20 至 30 名性工作者从事卖淫活动，”他今天在一份声明中说。

库马尔表示，根据套餐和服务地点不同，顾客需支付200至350令吉不等的费用。据信，款项以现金、Touch 'n Go卡或银行二维码的形式支付给与该团伙有关联的卖淫人员。

他说，据信该团伙每天服务约 100 名顾客，向每位顾客收取 150 令吉，其余的钱则支付给被剥削者。

根据这些估计，如果该活动继续以同样的速度进行，该团体每天可以产生 15,000 令吉的收入，或每月 450,000 令吉的收入，相当于每年 540 万令吉。

“这种活动令人深感担忧，因为它不仅涉及贩卖人口牟利，而且还剥削儿童，而儿童本应受到保护，免受虐待和性剥削。

“更令人担忧的是，对未成年儿童的性剥削会造成长期的心理创伤，损害他们的情感、道德和社会发展，并影响他们的未来，”他说。

Kumar表示，自2024年初以来一直活跃的Geng Yunaa组织由10名成员组成，年龄在18岁至44岁之间，由一名30岁的当地男子领导。

行动中，警方还查获了各种被认为与卖淫活动有关的物品，包括14部手机、6盒避孕药、毛巾和润滑凝胶。

“调查发现，被捕者中有好几人曾有各种犯罪记录，包括卖淫、人口贩卖、贩毒和欺诈。

“我们还确认了另一名在逃的团伙成员，目前仍在追捕嫌疑人，”他说。

库马尔表示，调查文件已移交总检察署重案组，该组已同意明天在八打灵再也地方法庭，根据《刑法》第130V(1)条对该团伙的九名成员提起诉讼。——马新社
