The Ministry of Labor plans to introduce a new law that would punish visa dealers as human traffickers.
Speaking at a business forum at the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) on Thursday, Abdullah Abu Thunain, undersecretary for inspections, said the ministry had found 8,000 firms involved in irregularities since the inspection campaign began two months ago.
He said the inspection campaign would continue with about 1,000 trained inspectors.
