Yusop was arrested on a warrant in connection with a large-scale illicit recruitment operation. The suspect’s tactic, according to Atty Janet Francisco of the National Bureau of Investigation’s Anti-Human Trafficking Division, is to give student visas to his recruits in exchange for a speedy work.
Only a few of the suspect’s more than 30 recruits are said to have paid P300,000 apiece to work as industrial employees or hotel cleaners in Europe. According to the National Bureau of Investigation, the majority of the suspect’s victims are already in debt and have mortgaged their homes and land to pay the sum sought by the suspect.
Despite the fact that the complainants waited two years, nothing was accomplished and the suspect was aided. In 2021, airport immigration officials saved a total of 688 potential victims of human trafficking and unlawful recruiting, according to the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
Last year, immigration authorities detained 13,680 travelers, largely due to faulty documents, according to Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente. According to the BI’s Travel Control and Enforcement Unit, 491 of the people were suspected human trafficking victims, while 197 had fake or shady abroad work permits and labor contracts.
The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration were notified of alleged human trafficking victims and individuals with dubious licenses and contracts. In 2021, 326 juveniles and underage victims were intercepted, according to him. 18 of them assumed the identities of other people.
