Constitutional Court says police wrong to drop case of exploited foreign workers

The Constitutional Court ruled Wednesday that the police were wrong to drop a case concerning the exploitation of foreign workers in the country. The case concerned workers, many from Slovakia, Romania, Mongolia, and Ukraine, recruited through agencies to work in the forests and undertake other manual work. In some cases the workers recieved none of the wages promised or just a fraction of them. The exploitation dossier was built up between 2009 and 2011 but police dropped the case in 2013.
