MANILA: Philippine a­u­tho­r­­ities say they have arrested 43 suspected members of a syndicate that runs a lucrative online cybersex operation catering to clients worldwide.

The Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Commi­ssion said government agents arrested 43 men and women and seized 115 computers in raids on three locations late Wednesday in Dinalupihan town in Bataan province west of Manila.

Police said on Thursday that the syndicate operated a website at which clients could ask women to perform lewd acts for a fee.
