The Macao police have nabbed 73 illegal imported laborers, local media reported Friday.
The Macao Post Daily quoted police sources as saying that the police personnel launched the surprise raid on a casino-hotel construction site in the city's Nape region on Thursday.
Among the 73 suspects, 51 are holding Hong Kong passports, 21 the Chinese mainland travel documents and one Japanese, the sources told the newspaper.
The employment of illegal workers is a crime that incurs hefty fines and imprisonment in case of repeat offenders. Illegally employed workers are customarily ordered to leave Macao.
Macao's number of illegally imported laborers has been rising in recent years.
