A DJ has been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the running of a high-end prostitution ring.
Rebeka “Beka” Episcopo was arrested as part of a police operation called “Last Massage”.
Episcopo is one of six people targeted as part of the sting,
Two others have also been remanded into custody, while the rest must sign in with the authorities at regular intervals.
Episcopo was arrested in Lisbon and is accused of leading a prostitution ring in Portugal.
She is from Dourados, Brazil, but has lived in Europe for over 30 years.
In addition to DJing at events and radio stations, she is a producer, businesswoman and international model, as reported by Need To Know.
She boasts more than 65,000 followers on Instagram.
Episcopo owns two branches of Nuru Spa in Lisbon and in Cascais.
She is believed to have recruited women from Brazil, where detectives suspect the prostitution ring may also be operating, to work there.
Nuru spa caters to a high-income clientele and advertises “sensual care” and “tantric massages” on its website.
In addition to pimping, detectives are investigating the suspects for social security fraud.
During the operation, officers seized around €107,000 (£92,000) in cash and bank cheques totalling €10,000 (£8,600) from the group.
Three firearms, ammo and pepper spray canisters were among the other items seized across 17 raids.
