TWO women - dubbed the 'Super Sisters' - have been jailed for 11 and 13 years in Ho Chi Minh City for trafficking at least 12 Vietnamese women to Macau, where they were forced to have sex with up to 10 men a day.
The sisters ran an elaborate scheme that involved shipping girls as young as 15 overland to Cambodia, where false passports were bought allowing them to fly to Guangzhou as tourists. They were then smuggled into Macau.
Ho Thi Kim Dep, 30, and Ho Thi Kim Anh, 24, were charged with brokering prostitution.
The 'Super Sisters' - so called for their rise from poverty to underworld notoriety - had worked as prostitutes in Macau for two years in the mid-1990s before procuring women.
They lured young women - all from desperately poor families - with promises of money.
But a court heard the two charged each victim US$3,900 (HK$30,300) for making the arrangements. The victims were then fleeced by their pimps and left virtually penniless.
