Nine Mongolian job brokers
were arrested in the Czech Republic on July 10. They were charged with
illegally luring Mongolians to the Czech Republic and forcing them to
work in near-slavery conditions.
During the operation, police
checked 26 Mongolians arriving by train from Moscow. Of the group, two
were found without any documents, one had an expired visa and another
was carrying a false visa. All four were detained.
Police note that 30 to 40 Mongolians
arrive to work in the Czech Republic each week.
Official figures show that
6,000 Mongolian citizens are legally working in the Czech Republic.
The largest group of foreign
workers are the Ukranians, with 126,000 workers, followed by the Slovaks
(71,000) and, in third, the Vietnamese (56,000).
