A man and his female partner from Chisinau, aged 24 and 25, have been arrested being suspected of pandering.

It turned out the young man was a police officer. Both are in 30-day custody.

According to the police, the two suspects posted announcements about massaging services, but actually these were sexual services.

The suspects promised the masseuses 500 lei per hour ($25). So far, five young women, aged 19-24, have been identified as such recruits.

The suspects have caught red-handed right in the apartment such services were being provided in.

The suspects face from 4 to 7 years of jail.
