TAIPEI—Taiwan will attempt to track down migrants working illegally on the island after six foreigners were killed in a construction accident, a report said Saturday.
Labor authorities will attempt to locate an estimated 33,000 undocumented foreign workers following the accident this week, the Liberty Time newspaper quoted labor officials as saying.
Six Indonesian men were killed when a highway construction site collapsed. They were found to be illegally staying in Taiwan and working without permits, local media said.
Employers will face a fine of up to 750,000 Taiwan dollars (US$23,800) for illegally hiring foreigners and a maximum three-year jail term for repeat offences, according to local laws.
There are around 350,000 legal foreign workers in Taiwan, largely from Southeast Asia including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam. –Agence France-Presse
