“As a result, we nabbed five Bangladeshi men and seized several computers and handphones,” Habibi said.
One of the workers claimed that a Bangladeshi agent had offered him a customer service position after he was jobless for several months as a construction worker in the city centre.
He said that he had worked there for two months when the centre began its operation.
Habibi said since last month, the city police had raided 110 gambling premises and arrested 306 people, of whom 156 people were charged. The rest were still being investigated.
