Carabinieri police arrested
two brothers in the southern Calabria region on Friday as part
of an operation against the local gangmaster system.
The suspects were apprehended on charges of illegal brokerage
and labour exploitation with racial discrimination as an
aggravating factor.
Investigators say they made African, Indian and Romanian
immigrants work illegally on their farm and paid them according
to skin colour. Whites allegedly earned 35 euros a day and
blacks 25 euros.
