I am begging for help! Please support me. Free my fiancé from modern slavery! In January 2024, Me, Franziska (34) and my fiancé Victor (38) moved to the Maldives to work there. We started working in the kitchen. But after a few weeks, my boss fired a colleague and gave us complete responsibility for the business because he and his wife wanted to start another business in Europe. We had responsibility for the entire operation and its finances. Among the normal work in the restaurant and the room maintenance , we were also supposed to take care of a big amount of cash and the business account was also entrusted to us. At one point we were missing $3000 from the business account. We informed our boss and he said that his Maldivian business partner had withdrawn the money to pay for some things. We should give him the cash ($26,000) so he could deposit it into the account. My boss wanted to make some payments and the rest should be kept in the account. After a few days we got a call that the money had never arrived. The business partner claimed we never gave him the money. Suddenly we were accused of embezzling the money. Our passports were confiscated and we were no longer paid. We worked from 8 a.m. until midnight. Sometimes without any breaks. We couldn’t file a report because the business partner was also a police officer. A local told us that my boss has a lot of debt and is trying to get the money back this way. Or at least he had to have 2 workers for over 6 months that he didn’t have to pay. We have absolutely no rights in this country. Without passports we could not do anything: We were blamed for something we didn’t do. I was wondering why my boss left us so much money. When he barely knew us. But apparently he had planned this from the start. I contacted the German embassy but they were also helpless. Everything seemed corrupt… My parents tried to file a complaint. But they couldn’t do anything from Germany. It was hopeless. At some point my boss started blackmailing me. When I don’t pay the money, I will go to prison and my parents will have to pay the whole amount to set me free. Of course, my parents couldn’t and shouldn’t have paid $38,000 (that was the alleged total that was apparently missing). In the end, I contacted a Maldivian lawyer and he arranged for me to leave the country. But only under the condition of paying a partial amount. My parents applied for a loan and paid my boss $13,000. A few days ago I arrived in Germany. This story sounds almost unbelievable and I still can’t conceive this sneaky game. My fiancé is still being held. He still doesn’t have his passport and my boss is now demanding more money from me to release my fiancé. He threatens every day to send people to my and my family’s apartment and to force the money there. I’m afraid for my family and I’m afraid for my fiancé, who has to continue working there under inhumane conditions. We reported the case to the police in Germany, but they can only help if something has happened. I ask everyone who has even a dollar to spare to support me in this unbearable situation. As soon as my fiancé is free and my boss returns to Europe we will try to report him. But for now money seems like the only solution. We only have a few days, maybe 1 or 2 more weeks left before my fiancé is sent to prison. I’m desperate and need quick help… I know it’s a lot of money… But any support helps me. Please share this with your friends and family!! If we can reach a big crouwd, everyone only has to pay a few dollars and you can save an innocent life that could end up in prison for several years. I am begging you and I appreciate your time.
Thank you, Franziska
