The Search and Follow-up Department at the General Directorate of Passports has arrested an African national for smuggling female workers from his country and employing and sheltering them in the Salata area.
Acting on information about smuggling and sheltering domestic workers, the Department set up a special team in coordination with the relevant security departments, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) said in a series of tweets.
“After taking necessary permissions, the accused was arrested red-handed with 15 domestic workers sheltered at a rented house for this purpose in Salata area,” the ministry said.
'During the interrogation, the accused confessed the crime and explained how he lured the domestic workers with special offers to work in private houses. The accused were referred to the competent authorities for further legal proceedings in this regard,' according to MoI.
The competent authorities at the Ministry of Interior urge the public to refrain from dealing with run-away workers to avoid any legal accountability or exposure to various crimes.
