THE Bureau of Immigration branded Malta as one of the hotspots for human trafficking after it recently intercepted two victims of such illegal activity who were bound for the said country last April 29.
Based on the initial investigation, the passengers told immigration officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 that they were friends and travelling to Malta for a four-day vacation. The victims, however, were unaware that their employment visas to Malta were already cancelled even before leaving the country.
“Both women later admitted during secondary inspection that their final destination is Malta and that their documents were only handed to them by an unknown person that same morning outside the airport,” Tansingso said.
