The Public Security Police Force (PSP) and the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) apprehended 126 people in January on suspicion of working illegally in Macau. the finding comes after the two departments conducted cooperative operations against illegal workers, inspecting 401 different locations. These included construction sites, private buildings and commercial and industrial establishments. In December 2023, the DSAL and PSP conducted 175 inspections, leading to the discovery of 64 people suspected of being illegal workers.
