2 Filipinos file illegal detention, recruitment raps vs fake recruiters
Two Filipinas have filed charges of serious illegal detention, illegal recruitment, and estafa against Italian national Adel En Nouri and five others in Tanauan City.
The complainants claim they were promised high-paying jobs abroad, specifically in the UAE, by Tamber International Placement Agency, which they allege is unlicensed.
They were allegedly coerced, detained, and forced into unauthorized labor as online recruiters with long work shifts against their will.
The victims stated they were persuaded to apply after being assured of a monthly salary of P65,000, including board and lodging.
They were also told the agency was accredited by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and paid P80,000 each for placement fees, airfare, and visa processing.
En Nouri is reportedly facing similar charges, including qualified human trafficking, in relation to a fake overseas recruitment scheme.
The victims decided to file the complaint after escaping from the Tamber office on December 31, 2024, citing fears for their safety.
