By Hugo Gye. Sorient Sigba allegedly sent chauffeurs to City strip clubs to ferry revellers to the mews house in central London where they would pay hundreds for sex and drugs. Brothel: Sorient Sigba, left, is accused of joining Vera Fosuhene, right, in providing prostitutes to City workers. When men arrived at the house, they were met by scantily clad prostitutes reclining on leather sofas before being taken into one of three bedrooms, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Sigba, 54, is alleged to be one of three men who ran the sex den in Holborn and split the profits between them. Sting: Sogba, pictured outside court today, was allegedly caught by police after they launched an undercover investigation.
Brothel madam Vera Fosuhene, 46, pleaded guilty to managing a brothel and supplying cocaine. All three will be sentenced at the conclusion of Sigba's trial. Mr Moll said an email to Sigba found at Earl and Wallen's Greenwich office read: 'Freddy, drivers' names mean nothing to me, that is what you are supposed to be doing.
But the prosecutor told jurors: 'Just because Earl, Wallen and Fosuhene have pleaded guilty does not mean that this defendant Mr Sigba is guilty. The court heard the brothel was targeted as part of a police operation aimed at smashing London vice rings.
Undercover officers visited the property on three occasions after being approached by mini-cab drivers outside the City Burlesque club in Farringdon. Mr Moll said that during the first visit in July the door to the brothel was opened by Fosuhene. During a second visit in October a Jaguar, later found to be registered to Sigba, was parked outside the property and Sigba opened the door to the brothel, Mr Moll said.
