Czech Republic - Mafia profits from labour shortages - October 31, 2016

A newspaper reported about the practice that Ukrainians who want to work in the Czech Republic must first pay protection money of up to 2000 euro per capita to the mafia.

Moreover, most firms must pay extra money to intermediaries for their Ukrainian workers
