Two charged in Leicester

A man and a woman from Leicester were each charged with a gangmaster offence yesterday in connection with the alleged unlicensed supply of workers into food processing factories.

Sabia Gaina, aged 24, and Badar Hayat, aged 42, were arrested at separate addresses in the city in September during a joint operation by the GLAA and Leicestershire Police.

They have now each been charged with an offence under  the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act and were bailed to appear before Leicester Magistrates’ Court on 14 June.
