One person has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison and two others have been given probationary sentences following a human trafficking investigation that ultimately led to the discovery of 84 foreign nationals living in “deplorable conditions” and being “exploited” by employment agencies throughout the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, police say.
The RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency says that it began a joint investigation in 2018 after learning that foreign nationals were entering the country as visitors through major airports and were being “trafficked into employment in different lines of work, mostly in the Hamilton-Niagara Region.”
The authorities say that the victims were “exploited” by employment agencies operated by members of the group who had facilitated their entry into Canada.”
I wonder what the LPC’s cut was?
