German police searched more than 40 homes and businesses in five German states as part of an investigation into foreign workers being illegally brought to the country to work in the meatpacking industry, police said

Police are seeking to bring in for questioning more than 80 foreign workers, mostly from non-EU eastern European countries such as Ukraine and Belarus, a spokesman for federal police said.

At the centre of the investigation are two companies that are suspected of having brought the workers to Germany illegally to place them in meatpacking jobs, and there are 10 main suspects, he said. Germany’s meatpacking sector has come under fire this year for the widespread use of sub-contracted migrant workers from eastern Europe, as cramped accommodation and poor oversight were suspected of accelerating local coronavirus outbreaks.

The covid outbreaks in those factories meant the authorities could no longer turn a blind eye to the illegal activities & one of Germany's moral ethical lies.

.Germany is one of the biggest supporters of the current EU migration policy, even when this policy leads to slavery, violation of human rights & human trafficking. Europe eucopresident guyverhofstadt Queen_Europe

Foreign workers work cheaply, they don't have to worry about taxes because they're fugitives. They are part of the slavery system of the 21st century. Free workforce for employers. If you ask, you would say that Europe values ​​'human'.

Merkel knows all about them. She allowed them to come flooding in.

You can't show foreign workers in that picture like that!
