Two human traffickers who were jailed for six years have been ordered to pay back more than £129,000.

Marian Dzuga, 40, of Windsor Road, Gillingham, and his brother Josef, 39, of Salisbury Road, Chatham, both appeared before a judge at Maidstone Crown Court earlier this month.

The pair were jailed in May 2016 after a jury found them guilty of conspiracy to traffic people within the UK for exploitation.

During the sentencing they were also handed a 10 year Slavery and Trafficking Prevention Order.

The jury had heard how between December 2004 and November 2013 the brothers had trafficked four men separately into the UK and once each man had arrived they had their passport and other documents taken from them and were made to live in accommodation owned by the pair.

They were given jobs and made to work around 60 hours per week in factories, fruit packing farms and recycling centres.

Their wages were controlled by Marian and none of the four victims knew how much they were being paid as their wages were taken from them each week, with Marian and Josef pocketing most of the cash.

At the hearing earlier this month, Josef was ordered to pay back £129,355.51 while Marian was ordered to pay £99.65.

Det Insp Annie Clayton, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate said: "These men targeted vulnerable people who were promised a better way of life.

"Marian and Josef controlled and exploited these victims, knowing they didn’t speak English and that they relied on them for jobs.

"They took their money each week, giving very little to the victims to live on and I’m pleased that they have been ordered to pay back some of this money."
