18 illegal workers face prosecution after police raid

A joint operation conducted by the Public Security Police and Judiciary Police last Friday identified 18 illegal female workers at a downtown nightclub. The sudden raid on casinos, karaoke parlors and pubs on the Macau peninsula and Cotai Strip, led by the Macau Unitary Police Service, was carried out  in order to combat human trafficking and other major crimes. Up to 48 out of 781 people intercepted have been taken to the police station for inquiries. Among these, three workers held Korean passports, nine held Chinese passports, and six had Chinese travel permits.
All eighteen were from the same entertainment venue and have been sent to the Public Prosecution Office after being confirmed as illegal workers. A total of 220 security agents participated in the operation.
