Italian police on Wednesday
arrested five Romanians for allegedly enslaving co-nationals,
forcing them to live in cold and dank quarters, wear clothes
plucked from rubbish bins, eat mouldy food, work in fields for
free and prostitute themselves, near Ragusa in Sicily.
Some of the alleged victims were minors, police said.
Anyone who rebelled as subjected to "ferocious" violence,
police said.
