The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said Friday that there is no compelling reason nor legal basis to place Labor Attaché (Labatt) Nasser Mustafa under preventive suspension following the dismissal of the criminal charges filed against him.
In a letter addressed to Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. by Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, he said the agency’s legal service recommended the dismissal of the charges filed against Mustafa after conducting a “thorough review on the complaints submitted by the Mayores couple and evidence presented by both parties.”
The recommendation was affirmed by the Labor Secretary as well as the Undersecretary for Legal and International Affairs cluster.

This came after an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) couple filed a complaint against Mustafa last year before the Philippine Embassy for acts of lasciviousness and sexual harassment that reportedly occurred in the morning of Feb. 13, 2020 inside the labor attache’s office in Riyadh when she was following up some job orders on behalf of her sponsor.
On Oct. 14, the couple directed the Philippine Embassy to seek assistance after sensing that their jobs were already at stake due to the alleged pressure being employed by Mustafa’s office against their employers and sponsors. But the labor attaché, in turn, charged the nationals with cyberlibel.
