Gigolo school raided for overcharging its students - TW

Police raided a gigolo training center in Panchiao and arrested nine of the school's operators for overcharging students, officials said yesterday.

The operators allegedly inflated tuition bills by adding in expensive clothes and mobile phones, police officer Liu Tai-shun said. They were also accused of having links to organized crime, Liu said.

Classes were held in an apartment building in Panchiao, Liu said.
During the raid on Wednesday night, police officers seized fancy clothes, earrings and lecture notes as evidence, officers said.

The school's operators ran classified ads offering ``well-paid moonlighting jobs'' and collected up to NT$200,000 for several weeks of training courses, police said.
"The ads had good results. The school received more than 200 applications in just two weeks," Liu said.
