Singaporean police believe that the group of five Chinese nationals deliberately got caught offering bribes to officials in order to prolong their stay in the country, The Straits Times reports.

Because of the corruption proceedings against them, each of the men were issued with a special pass allowing them to stay in Singapore until the conclusion of the cases.

They allegedly used their extended stay in Singapore to sell illegal sex enhancement medications from makeshift roadside booths.

However, all five men have now been rearrested and remanded into custody — without bail.
