2 arrested in A. Samoa for people trafficking

PAGOPAGO (Pacnews) — The Federal Bureau of Investigations has arrested two Chinese nationals living in American Samoa in connection with charges of aiding the transportation of women from China and other nations to engage in prostitution in this U.S. territory.
The FBI took the two women, Kueling Chen and Lili Zhang, to Honolulu.
A statement from the FBI said that the two are charged with conspiring to violate the Mann Act, a law which makes it a federal offence to transport individuals in interstate or foreign commerce with intent to engage in prostitution.
Miss Chen is the wife of Fu Shen Kuo the Chinese man who was awaiting trial in Honolulu along with another Chinese woman Shenji Wang, in connection with a Pago Pago prostitution case.
