Massage parlor owners arrested for multi-state prostitution, money laundering scheme
The owners of a string of massage parlors in Washington – including one in Kirkland – and California were arrested Thursday after an investigation found a prostitution and money laundering scheme.
Tham Nguyen, 48, and Suong Tran, 51, both of Burien, face charges of conspiracy to transport individuals in furtherance of prostitution and conspiracy to engage in money laundering. A federal grand jury handed down a two-count indictment against them Wednesday.
According to court documents, the defendants owned and operated three massage parlors in Washington, three similar businesses in California and a legal brothel in Nevada. The massage parlors were allegedly fronts for prostitution.
The massage parlors in Washington include the Fantasy Health Spa, at 11516 124th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland, the Sauna Relax Station in Auburn and Bamboo Sauna in Burien.
