Chief of the Palu Immigration Office for Immigration Supervision Affairs, Marsongko confirmed the arrest of the nine Chinese nationals here on Saturday.
He said that the Chinese citizens were arrested in a hotel around the Palu Bay at 9 pm local time on Friday night after immigration officials obtained tips from the public.
When they were arrested only one of the nine Chinese nationals possessed a passport and visa. "One of them named Zhang Zike has a valid passport and visa but it is a visit visa, not a work visa," he said.(*)
