14 Bangladeshi Citizens Rescued in Ampang Raid

The Immigration Department successfully rescued 14 Bangladeshi citizens during a raid on a residential premises in Ampang, near Kuala Lumpur.

Syndicate Crippled by Immigration Department
The raid, conducted by officers from the Special Operations Intelligence Division and Analysis, along with assistance from the Putrajaya Immigration headquarters’ Division of Investigation Operations and Prosecution, targeted a human trafficking syndicate. Public information and intelligence reportedly led to the operation, which occurred around 5 pm.
Victims Found in Congested Conditions
Upon entering the premises, which had been locked from the outside to deceive authorities, the raiding team discovered the 14 victims housed in two rooms under congested conditions. A total of 20 mobile phones belonging to the victims were found stored in one room.
Syndicate's Modus Operandi
The syndicate's method involved housing the victims at the premises before selling them to employers. These employers would pay a price set by the syndicate to secure the victims for work. During the raid, RM28,500 in cash was found in the possession of one of the syndicate members.
Suspected Links to Previous Syndicate
The Immigration Department believes this syndicate has been active for a considerable period, based on its modus operandi. Authorities suspect it may have connections to a migrant smuggling syndicate that was disrupted in December of the previous year.
