Keith Vaz allegedly helped brothel owner who provided sex services of men

London: Disgraced UK Labour MP Keith Vaz is in for more trouble as the police are probing his link to a man who allegedly ran a brothel that offered sex services of men for other men.

One of the official police documents, a five-page witness statement seen by 'The Sunday Times', accuses the MP of intervening in the eviction of a council tenant in Leicester in 1991, who was suspected of providing "the services of young men for other men".

59-year-old Vaz is suspected of having misused his office to overturn the eviction and local police of the Leicester constituency are looking into claims of misconduct dating back to 1991. The politician has said that he is not aware of any new probe against him.

According to a 'Sunday Times' report, four witnesses, including a former lord mayor of Leicester, last week confirmed they had been interviewed by Leicestershire detectives.

The inquiries have been going on for at least a year.

Leicestershire police refused to comment last week on whether Vaz was under investigation or whether the witnesses were being interviewed as part of a wider inquiry.

His wife had on Sunday come out in his defence saying though she felt "betrayed" she would forgive him as he was "not a bad person" after he was embroiled in a sex scandal involving male prostitutes.

Maria Fernandez said she felt "betrayed" after the 'Sunday Mirror' claimed in a report that Vaz paid for two male prostitutes and made references to drugs, but has decided to give him a second chance.

"The shock was also the whole scenario of allegedly using sex workers because it is so unlike him," the 'Sun on Sunday' quoted her as saying.

The 57-year-old former barrister, who has two children with Vaz, said: "Keith is not a bad person."
