“We hold raid to control the presence of foreigners who visit and stay in Indonesia. When we raided the apartment, we caught 40 illegal immigrants whose three of them are young Moroccan women who are allegedly sex workers,” he stated.

The initials of those three women are IM (17), NI (18), and NR (19). They rented the apartment for a month over recommendation from a Moroccan.
