A recruiter in Jeju who sent a man in his 20s to Cambodia by promising high-paying jobs has been arrested by police.
On the 21st, the Jeju Dongbu Police Station said it had taken into custody and was investigating a woman in her 20s, identified as A, on charges of joint unlawful confinement and intimidation.
Around May, A allegedly made a false offer to a Jeju man in his 20s, identified as B, saying there were "short-term high-paying jobs," and sent B to Cambodia in early June.
Upon arriving in Cambodia, B reportedly had his mobile phone and belongings taken by a group connected to A, and was confined and threatened while being asked for his bank account information.
B escaped in early July and, after returning to Jeju, reported the details to police.
According to police, A and B had known each other previously as acquaintances. Police confirmed indications that A received money and valuables as a brokerage fee and are investigating without detention.
There are currently a total of nine reports filed in Jeju related to confinement and missing persons in Cambodia.
