Illegal recruiter behind bars
A man was apprehended at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for alleged human trafficking and illegal recruitment.
The suspect, Abdullah Taher Asnawi, was intercepted with a 20-year-old woman who was set to travel to Saudi Arabia.
Asnawi allegedly recruited the woman despite her not meeting the minimum age requirement for employment and advised her to use an Umrah visa to bypass restrictions.
An immigration officer, John Rey Fadrogani, who allegedly cleared the pair for departure, has been recommended for prosecution and remains at large.
The Department of Migrant Workers confirmed that Asnawi is not authorized to recruit workers.
Asnawi faces charges for violating the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act and the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act.
