A complaint by the Immigration Department said the act, committed
between an unknown day in 2024 and Sept. 16 this year, was contrary to Common
Law and punishable under section 159C(6) of the Crimes Ordinance.
It accused Sejas of “purportedly entering into a foreign
domestic helper contract, and by dishonestly and falsely representing to the
Director and his officers that (she) would work for Marcellier, M as a
