Man in porn SMS ring held


A FORMER telecommunications company executive whose life in the fast lane was fuelled by a multi-million ringgit pornography SMS racket, has been detained by the police.

The 34-year-old suspect who reportedly netted RM11 million (S$4.55 million) by operating the racket via his company, was picked up by policemen from the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department at about 10pm on Tuesday.

The man was with his family at their house in Putra Heights near Subang Jaya at the time of the arrest. The arrest followed a police report filed last week against the multi-million ringgit racket.

Initial investigations revealed that the man had allegedly masterminded the sales of SMS which offered three-minute pornographic video clippings to subscribers. It is understood that the man charged RM3 for each pornographic SMS which he sent to subscribers over the years, amassing millions of ringgit.

According to a police officer who declined to be named, although the suspect earned about RM4,000 a month, he owned a Porsche and BMW cars, purportedly bought with money earned through the sale of the porn SMS.
