A 67-year old restaurant owner has admitted to human trafficking after he was arrested by the police following an investigation conducted by Jobsplus, Identita and the police.
The Dingli resident had applied to authorities to bring over foreign workers mainly from India to Malta however it was found out that the amount of workers gotten far exceeded the amount of workers actually needed.
Reportedly when the situation was originally flagged by Jobsplus, the man proceeded to fire most of the individuals and falsified several tax-related documents.
The man who was essentially a director of a restaurant-owning company was ultimately charged with human trafficking, making false statements, exploitation, and more.
Due to a very early guilty plea and being cooperative with the investigation it is being reported that the prosecution and all parties agreed that a 2-year sentence was enough.
