Suspected human traffickers

Samoa Immigration kicks out 8 suspected human traffickers

The foreigners who were identified as Asians were intending to transit through Apia and travel onwards to American Samoa.

Newsline Samoa reports local immigration officials discovered that they arrived Sunday without visas to enter the territory but were planning to apply while on transit in Samoa.

According to Chief Immigration Officer, Valavala Siaopo Pese, the visitors did not have proper documents to do that and were sent back to Fiji.
