beauty to find husbands here I see nothing immoral in that.”
Sui was a guy who could think on his feet.
“Girls without underwear, giving extra services like blow jobs. You see nothing immoral in that? Turning village girls into prostitutes isn’t immoral in your book, huh?”
“I don’t pressure them. Those girls who want to make extra money, offer extra services. They are showgirls. Perhaps they look like prostitutes to you. That doesn’t mean they are prostitutes.”
“You know what they say in this country? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.”
“Sun, don’t say another word! Mr. Slovak doesn’t have the best of intentions here.”
“Oh, come on, Verster!” Nick slapped the file folder against the corner of his desk.
“This meeting is over,” said Verster, standing up. “My client hasn’t broken any laws or immigration regulations. He filed 263 applications to bring in a bunch of good-looking women on temporary work permits. If you think that’s abuse of procedures, it would be more productive of you to question your own immigration officers on why they signed them off.”
Nick stood up too. “Your client peddles drugs on the third floor of his supper club.”
“My client does not peddle drugs and has never observed anyone selling illicit substances in his club. And he’ll testify to that under oath, Mr. Slovak. So what if his business venture isn’t politically correct and his club isn’t a highbrow affair? Mr. Sui isn’t a politician courting votes from the morally conscious middle class like yourself.”
Nick brushed this aside. “Whether the drugs were free or for sale is a moot point. The fact of the matter is, drugs were being used there. In my book, prostitution and the possession of drugs are offences under the Immigration Act as well as the Criminal Code. There is also the fact that casinos are known to be big moneylaundering operations.”
