Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has filed charges against
another employer over the use of unlawful migrant labour in
the building and construction sector in Auckland.
The
prosecution centres on two migrant workers located at a
Tamaki building site on 27 April who were working in breach
of their visa conditions.
A company director faces two
charges under Section 343(1)(a) of the Immigration Act for
aiding and abetting the workers to be employed in breach of
their visa conditions. The penalty for such an offence is a
prison term of up to seven years, a fine not exceeding
$100,000, or both.
