Human trafficker faces 20-year jail term, P1-M fine

Dear PAO,

My cousin has a big problem. She and her friends applied with an agency for what they thought was overseas employment. They paid a lot of money, hoping they will be legally employed once they get to Malaysia. It turned out that they were arranged to serve in a prostitution den. Fortunately, they were able to return home. Now, they want to know whether they can file a case against the agency that transacted with them. Your soonest advice will be highly appreciated.
