A European Raqi (healer by Koran) of Arab origin was arrested in Saudi Arabia on charges of molesting women at home after blindfolding their husbands as part of the alleged treatment.



Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice seized the man following reports from many women in the western Red Sea port of Jeddah.



One family said the Raqi charged them nearly SR40,000 (Dh39,000) for long treatment sessions during which he blindfolded the husband and molested his wife, Alsaudi daily said.



“He was asking men seeking treatment to ensure their wives are present during the process, claiming this will help him treat them better,” the paper said.



“He would then blindfold the husband and place headsets on his ears to play Koran verses…after this, he starts talking to the wife about sexual matters before he begins molesting her.”
