JAKARTA - Personnel of the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA) of the Sukabumi Police Criminal Investigation Unit uncovered two criminal cases of trafficking in persons (TPPO) to Saudi Arabia and Papua. The victim is a young woman from Sukabumi Regency, West Java.
"All the victims were five people, four were victims of human trafficking to Papua and one to Saudi Arabia," said Head of PPA Satreskrim Sukabumi Police Iptu Bayu Sunarti in Sukabumi, Monday, March 14.
According to Bayu, the TPPO mode of going to Papua was carried out by three suspects by ensnaring four young women from Palabuhanratu who were promised to work in a cafe in Papua with high pay. But in reality they were employed as commercial sex workers (PSK) and were traded to other cafe owners.
The three suspects, one of whom is a woman, are already in the detention cell of the Sukabumi Police Headquarters awaiting trial. Meanwhile, the other suspect, who is the owner of the cafe and the buyer of the four victims, was detained in Papua, bringing the total to four suspects.
Meanwhile, the alleged TIP case to Saudi Arabia where the victim is a young widow from Cidahu District is still under investigation and development. According to the victim's confession, he was able to go to Saudi Arabia after previously getting to know someone on social media who he said was a representative of a service company providing workers abroad.
After the introduction, the victim was lured by a job as a housekeeper or babysitter in Saudi Arabia with high wages. However, in reality the victims are kept in shelters and employed as maids without pay even to eat and drink is difficult.
"We are working with other parties to help repatriate the victim from Saudi Arabia and thank God we have now returned to gather with the family in their hometown and we are still hunting for the perpetrators who sent the victim to Saudi Arabia," he added as quoted by Antara.
