Police arrested on Tuesday afternoon the second of three women who were allegedly engaged in illegal sponsorship of 19 alien workers.
According to court documents, Weena P. Dulay, 19, was placed under arrest when she went to the Attorney General’s Office’s Criminal Division in Susupe.
Dulay was arrested for document fraud, conspiracy to commit document fraud, unlawful employment of aliens, conspiracy to commit unlawful employment of aliens, inducement by fraudulent misrepresentation, and immigration and labor entrepreneurship fraud.
At yesterday’s hearing, Superior Court presiding judge Robert C. Naraja temporarily released Dulay on $10,000 unsecured bond.
Naraja said the court and the government allowed Dulay’s temporary release without posting any money considering that she has a three-month-old baby.
Dulay, Stacy N. Bautista, and Elenita E. Camacho are facing the same charges. Bautista was arrested on Friday, while it was not clear yet as of yesterday whether Camacho was arrested.
A $10,000 cash bail was imposed for the temporary release of Bautista.
Immigration investigator Erwin Flores of the AGO’s Investigation Unit stated in his report that Bautista, Dulay, and Camacho created and used commercial enterprises such as GEM Professional Service, WPD Accounting Sevice, and Rhen Tailoring Dress Shop for the purpose of charging money to employ those workers and allow them to remain in the CNMI.
Dulay is the alleged sole-proprietor of the WPD Accounting Service. Bautista is the alleged sole-proprietor of the Rhen Tailoring Dress Shop, while Camacho is the sole-proprietor of the GEM Professional Service.
Flores said he checked the locations of these businesses and discovered they are not in operation.
Bautista and Camacho allegedly charged $1,000 to $1,500 to each alien worker sponsored under the name of three companies.
