TWO sisters who allegedly made more than 100 million yuan (US$14.65 million) by forcing hundreds of women into prostitution will go on trial in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.
One sister, Wang Ziqi, and another 29 members of their gang will be tried next Tuesday at Chongqing No.5 Intermediate People's Court on nine counts including organizing and leading a mafia-like organization, brokering prostitution and forced prostitution, today's Chongqing Times newspaper reported.
The other sister Wang Wanning will be tried separately, the report said.
Prosecutors allege the Wangs opened nine beauty salons, teahouses and hotels in Chongqing since 1994 to provide sex services. They registered several other corporations for money laundering, making over 100 million yuan from March 1998 to August 2009.
The ring had lured hundreds of job-seeking women and forced them into their sex business, prosecutors alleged.
To make the women obedient, the ring allegedly limited their personal freedom by threatening, beating and confining them, resulting in injuries to 19 people.
To seek police protection, Wang Ziqi had bribed many government workers, prosecutors added.
