As with Borealis, 23,000 employees in our country are exploited: “Those who dare to complain are beaten or threatened”

The Borealis yard is the tip of the iceberg. According to Justice Minister Van Quickenborne, 23,000 people are being exploited in our country. “A tenfold increase in a few years. People are always looking for cheaper workers,” says lawyer Jan Buelens, who defends victims. “The deeper you sink into those networks, the closer you get to criminal circuits.”
