A sensational human trafficking and corruption ring has been found in Malaysia for mistreatment, harassment and illegally taking foreign workers hostage. A total of five people, including two federal law enforcement officers, have been placed on a five-day remand for allegedly demanding and accepting bribery and accepting about 10 lakh Malaysian ringgit (RMs) in the name of law enforcement operations and legal action. Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has issued a report on Free Malaysia Today (FMT) and the information collected.
According to the National Identity Card (NID) collected, the main accused in this human trafficking and bribery ring is Md. Mubarak Hossain, Father: Haji Farid Ahmed, Mother: Mosa: Monwara Begum, Date of Birth: October 1972, Place of Birth: Comilla and his permanent address is Fatullah, Narayanganj Sadar, Narayanganj. The leader of this cycle, Mubarak Hossain, is a very clever person. Apparently, by looking at his simple and mastery, there is no way to understand how many crimes he is involved in behind the scenes. For a long time, his main occupation was to target different people with different tactics, take hostages and blackmail them in various ways.
The biggest aspect of the crime of this gang is to conduct quota fraud and human trafficking syndicates. In Malaysia, there are only 300 people who have a legal quota to take people under a particular company. However, this cycle makes fake or two numbers of visa permits and arranges about a hundred workers to work in different factories illegally. In this way, the main leader of the gang, Mobarak Hossain, has become the owner of huge wealth by supplying illegal workers through quota fraud. And joining this process is the main cause of the mischief and danger of a large part of the expatriates.
The MCC and preliminary investigations have revealed that the accused gang has been carrying people through different countries since 2018 in a planned manner and bringing them to Malaysia. After the illegal workers were caught by the immigration, the gang used to cover up the matter and bribe the immigration officials and take them back and remand. A total of forty-four transactions were changed through online money transfers from 2018 to 2025.
Malaysia’s Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) said the detainees were between the ages of 40 and 60, and three men and two women, including three men and two women. They were arrested from the state of Selangor and Johar in the recent operation. The other three accused in the ring directly worked as an agent in charge of taking care of the affairs of foreign workers and various irregularities related to quota. After the court granted the remand application of Magistrate Dhilip Nair MAC in the court, the five accused were sent on a five-day remand until November 1st. Hazrul Shazrin, director of the Anti-Corruption Commission in Johor, has officially confirmed the arrest. The case is currently being investigated very strictly to prevent corruption, human trafficking and abuse of power in Malaysia and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Act, 2009, is being investigated against the accused.
