Police Uncover Illegal Labour Ring

The National Bureau of Investigation has uncovered a ring of illegal labour in Finland, Sweden, and Estonia.

The newspaper Kaleva reports that the NBI, local police in Tornio, and tax authorities have investigated a scheme in which undocumented labour has been recruited for subcontracting work in welding and construction mainly in Sweden.

Officials say that the contractors are mostly large Swedish engineering companies and factories. The main suspect is a man living in the Kemi-Tornio area with a record of similar crimes.
