Kuwait Police bust illegal maid hiring network
Kuwaiti police arrested a Sri Lankan woman and several Asian
housemaids who have absconded from their employers to work at other
houses for more money.
The Sri Lankan woman, in her 60s, confessed to giving jobs to
absconding maids at other houses in return for KD100 ($360) paid by the
new employers.
Police raided her house in Kuwait City and arrested seven Sri Lankan
maids, one Indian and one Filipina.
"Police raided the house after receiving a tip off from an Asian
woman...the Sri Lankan told police that woman reported her because she
was jealous," the Arabic language daily Alanba said, adding that all
those arrested would be deported.
