4 illegal immigrants charged with running brothels in South Philadelphia

• January 14, 2010

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Four illegal immigrants are accused of running brothels out of a pair of South Philadelphia houses.

Three of the men were arrested Monday, the same day a federal indictment against them was unsealed.

Investigators say 27-year-old Jose Claudio Corona Cotonieto and 31-year-old Raymond Gonzalez Salazar would schedule Hispanic women to travel from New York, New Jersey and Delaware to work in the brothel for about a week at a time.

Twenty-two-year-old Nicolas Gonzalez Salazar is also charged. A fourth suspect is still being sought.

Investigators say the men had run the brothels since August, netting them about $9,000 per week.
