Spanish police dismantled a network for exploiting Moroccan workers in Albacete, a city in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, central Spain.

[…] The agency head along with the two families involved were fraudulently registering foreign citizens. To meet necessary requirements, the network used a supermarket and houses to register and regularize the situation of the exploited migrants in Spain.

The news outlet said that one of the families made three of its companies in the agricultural sector available to “facilitate employment contracts” for foreign citizens. The process is another  requirement to regularize the status of the migrants.

The network was exploiting all of the migrants on farms, where some of the farmers lived in “inhumane” conditions, the news outlet said. The suspects in the network are facing human trafficking and document falsification charges, among others.
