Warning: Contains disturbing content and graphic descriptions of sexual acts
The BBC understands the boss of a degrading sex-trade ring that exploited vulnerable women in Dubai's most glamorous neighbourhoods has been detained in the United Arab Emirates.
Charles Abbey Mwesigwa, identified in a recent BBC investigation as running the network, was filmed telling an undercover reporter he could provide women for a sex party at a starting price of $1,000 (£750).
He claimed the women could do pretty much everything clients wanted and mentioned he was a former London bus driver.
While it remains unclear what charges Mwesigwa faces, a Dubai law firm confirmed he was in custody at the Central Prison Centre in Al Awir, with an Interpol red notice issued against him.
The Ugandan embassy in the UAE announced ongoing investigations into human trafficking and linked this to Mwesigwa's detention.
A BBC investigation revealed testimonies from young Ugandan women who travelled to Dubai expecting jobs but found themselves forced into prostitution. At least two women associated with Mwesigwa died under suspicious circumstances after falling from high-rise buildings.
Mwesigwa denied the allegations and claimed to facilitate accommodation for women drawn to parties through affluent connections.
Discussions in the Ugandan parliament last week condemned the exploitation, with calls for cooperation with Interpol for justice.
