A French court sentenced three people for human trafficking in the champagne industry. They exploited seasonal workers, housing them in inhumane conditions. The court ruled on behalf of over 50 undocumented migrant workers mainly from West African countries. The director of the servicing company, a Kyrgyz woman, received two years imprisonment and denial of responsibility for the housing conditions. The court dissolved her company and imposed fines. Victims expressed relief at the verdict, describing their treatment as slave-like. The Anavim director's lawyer planned to appeal, claiming the ruling was unfair.
The court found three individuals guilty of human trafficking within the champagne industry, exploiting seasonal workers and subjecting them to deplorable living conditions.
Victims described their treatment as akin to slavery, with one worker stating, "The people were working in really bad conditions, and this decision is fair."
