The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation announced the referral of 45 establishments to the Public Prosecution for practicing recruitment activities and bringing in domestic workers without obtaining the necessary licenses from the Ministry since the beginning of last year.

The Ministry confirmed that legal measures were being taken against the four establishments that were seized during the campaign, which consisted of referring them to the Public Prosecution and imposing administrative fines on their owners worth 50 thousand dirhams for each establishment.
