Turkish Workers Targeted in Belgian Mining Racket
In Belgium's Charleroi region, Turkish labor is highly valued but a new underground recruitment scheme has led to mass departures. About 5,000 Turks have entered Belgium's 63,000-strong mining workforce with weekly arrivals, yet 20 percent vanish within weeks as recruiters lure them across borders. Police traced headquarter activity to a Charleroi cafe, while mine managers estimate losses around 1 million francs. Courts face limited options beyond prosecuting breach of contract.
