An asylum seeker set up a prostitution ring while he was supposed to be under Home Office surveillance, it emerged last night.
Saranwee Kwanpetch, 38, is said to have had more than 40 women at risk of exploitation on his books as sex workers in plush central London.
The Thai national came to the UK on a healthcare visa in 2011 and overstayed illegally for a decade before he was picked up by immigration authorities.
Then, in 2021 he was allowed to stay after applying to the Home Office for refuge, on the condition that he did not work while this was being processed. He is still trying despite being rejected several times.
And despite being under the watch of the Home Office, on May 31 he incorporated StarAsian Ltd - whose nature of business were 'other activities of employment placement agencies'.
The company, which is based in a building minutes from the Ritz, has a website that says: 'If you are looking for an Asian escort then you have come to the right place.'
