10 foreigners deported

SEMARANG, Central Java: Local authorities expelled 10 foreigners last year for violating immigration laws.

Head of the local immigration office Soeroso told Antara most of them were deported because they overstayed.

The people deported were from China, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Germany, South Korea and the United States.

Two others, from China, are still under investigation on suspicion of misusing their staying permits and of counterfeiting personal data to acquire passports. They will be deported if they are found guilty, Soeroso said.

Last year the office processed 622 exit permits, consisting of 612 repatriation and 10 deportation permits. (pwn)
