Of these, 32 are citizens of Paraguay, 1 in Bolivia, Burkina Faso 1, 2, Guinea Conakry, 1 Nicaragüa, 1 Guatemala, 1, 1, El Salvador and Ivory Coast.

All were taken into custody and arrested for violating the immigration law and in order to initiate the relevant removal proceedings.

The mission revealed that people who worked on the farm investigated had no employment contracts and any type of social protection, which used the occasion to pay them with much smaller quantities than those specified in the covenants of the sector.

The remuneration received by workers of the company were in this precarious situation, has been estimated at an average of 20 euros for a workday of eight hours.

For all this, last October 21, proceeded to arrest the manager of that company and two employees of the same, responsible for the recruitment of workers between groups of immigrants in an irregular situation.

All of them are accused of crimes against the rights of workers.
