DUBAI: The Dubai Police have reiterated that prostitution and adultery are illegal and punishable crimes, and that sex workers will be brought to justice and deported if caught by police.
It was reacting to media reports about a Russian hooker in Dubai earning thousands of dollars working as a prostitute, reported Khaleej Times.
The Sun newspaper reported, recently, that the woman makes about Dh500,000 a year. According to the newspaper, the woman who has been working in prostitution for the last eight years, deals with about five customers per day. However, it is not clear if she has spent all the eight years in the UAE.
The UK-based news portal reported that the 25-year-old Russian recently featured in a high court case where she was said to have been paid by an investment banking company to befriend a Libyan contact. She is said to have taken the client to a hotel in Dubai.
According to The Sun, the woman used to advertise as: “I have sexy shapes and great appetite for naughty games.”
A police official reportedly said that the Dubai Police will not turn a blind-eye to such behavior and that there are strict laws banning women from even wearing indecent cloths or committing any kind of immoral activities.
He clarified that such odd incidents happen in every country and that such activities are against the UAE’s tradition and culture.
He added that the Dubai Police conduct raids on a daily basis and arrest all those involved in prostitution. They are then brought to justice and deported.
The police also blocks websites with indecent photographs of women and interact with such kind of women in order to trap them after getting necessary permission from legal authorities, reported Khaleej Times.
The official called on the public to inform the police if they came across any such advertisements or illegal activities, the report said.
