The court found the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt all elements of section 12 ATIPSOM read with section 34 Penal Code: the accused recruited/transported and retained non-citizen workers by deception and coercive means (illegal entry, withholding passports, confinement, debt bondage and threats) for the purpose of forced labour/exploitation; both accused acted with common intention and are therefore guilty; custodial sentences, fines and detailed compensation orders were appropriate and lawful under s66A.
