Indian Nationals Arrested for Enslaving Farm Labourers in Italy

Two Indian nationals were arrested in Italy's Verona province for allegedly enslaving 33 Indian farm labourers. Authorities seized 475,000 euros worth of assets from the suspects, who face charges of enslavement and labour exploitation. The arrests come shortly after the death of Sikh farm worker Satnam Singh, highlighting Italy's ongoing issue with migrant labourer exploitation.

Two Indian nationals have been arrested in Verona province, Italy, for allegedly enslaving 33 Indian farm labourers, as per media reports. This development comes weeks after the tragic death of a Sikh farm worker.

Finance police confiscated assets totaling 475,000 euros from the suspects, who own two agricultural companies that allegedly operate without registered employees and evade taxes, reported ANSA news agency.

The suspects are under investigation for enslavement and labour exploitation. This incident throws light on modern slavery in Italy, especially after Satnam Singh, a 31-year-old Sikh labourer, died due to severe bleeding from a workplace accident last month. Singh's death has intensified scrutiny on the harsh conditions faced by migrant farm workers in the country.
