A federal judge in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands on Monday awarded $5.43 million in damages to seven Chinese construction workers who had been hired to build the Imperial Palace casino, on Saipan.
The men, who said they were recruited from China under false pretenses, said they were victims of human trafficking, subjected to forced labor, and were injured at the worksite. They also had sued the contractors who employed them – Gold Mantis Construction Decoration and MCC International Saipan – but settled with those companies, and those complaints were dismissed.
