CIREBON, KOMPAS — The illegal recruitment for prospective Indonesian migrant workers has allegedly been rampant during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last six months, the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) raided nine recruitment sites in a number of areas and found hundreds of prospective workers.

In the latest case, BP2MI found 25 prospective migrant workers at three recruitment sites in Cirebon regency, West Java, Saturday (17/10/2020) evening. Three people were accommodated in rent houses in Plumbon, 13 people in Karangasem, and nine people in Kejuden. There were no signboards for the company recruiting the prospective migrant workers in the rent houses.
