Student scoop


Pranav Budhathoki, a Nepali student at London Metropolitan University uncovered a notorious ring of criminals exploiting illegal immigrants by working undercover for four months in a poultry-packing company. Budhathoki's story appeared in The Daily Telegraph as part of a special expose on the issue. He reported that he worked 12 hours a day for 95p an hour, living with 50 people in one house, with each bedroom shared by five to six people. "Gang masters makes millions exploiting foreigners. Companies and factories save on labour costs, supermarkets get their products on cheap and government receives tax from the companies. That's why no one seems to be bothered," commented Budhathoki. The Daily Telegraph has already commissioned Budhathoki for another investigative assignment.
