Maldives Immigration Launches Crackdown on Illegal Businesses Run by Migrant Workers

Maldives Immigration has made curbing illegal businesses run by migrant workers its top priority following raids on takeaway coffee shops in Malé, in which eight people were detained. The operation is carried out with the police and alongside the Economic Ministry's ban on migrant workers in 25 sectors, while the Homeland Security Ministry runs a nationwide data-collection drive and a three-year plan on undocumented migrants.
