Macau police arrested a 40-year-old local woman last Thursday after she was accused of illegally employing three foreigners in her restaurant.
Acting on a tip, the police arrested the woman for hiring three men from the Philippines to work in a restaurant on the ground floor of a building on Rua da Esperanca, Jornal Va Kio reported.
Police said in a media briefing that the three men had been cooking, washing dishes and serving customers in the restaurant.

The female employer’s case was transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office and she will face a charge of illegal hiring.
