Yesterday, a joint operation by the Alien and Migration Department and the Ministry of Labour targeted a building renovation site in the Famagusta district to investigate undeclared work, social security violations, minimum wage issues, and illegal employment.
The operation resulted in the arrest of eight foreign nationals: six for working without proper documentation and two for residing in the country illegally.
Authorities identified the employer of four individuals – a 69-year-old man who confessed to the offences during questioning.
Investigations are ongoing to identify the employers of the remaining individuals.
The Ayia Napa Police Station is handling the investigation for the five documented cases of illegal employment.
