Detectives arrested a trafficker who detained and forced women to work temporarily in houses, which is a clear violation of the law. The suspect held several Asian women in a flat and forced them to work in houses, while holding all their belongings including passports, mobiles and money. He also raped most of them while threatening to kill them.
Meanwhile, the domestic help department of the residency affairs general department raided bogus offices that traded in absconding domestic helpers, as they harbored absconding maids and ‘sold’ them to others.
Investigations revealed that an expat used to make an agreement with maids to escape from their sponsors, then made them work on a temporary basis.
