Based on the accountability of criminal acts against perpetrators regarding the Ferienjob Internship Program In Germany, Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Trafficking in Persons in Article 4 stipulates that every person who brings an Indonesian citizen outside the territory of the Republic of Indonesia with the intention of being exploited outside the territory of the Republic of Indonesia.
