Two men have been charged with human trafficking in Medway.

Brothers Marian Dzuga, 36, and Jozef Dzuga, 35, were arrested following a large investigation in 2013 into the alleged exploitation of Slovakian nationals, living and working in the Medway Towns.

Marian Dzuga of Windsor Road, Gillingham, has been charged with:

• Four counts of knowingly requiring another person to perform forced/compulsory labour
• One count of arranging or facilitating travel of a person within the UK for exploitation
• One count of trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation.

Jozef Dzuga, of Salisbury Road, Chatham, was charged with trafficking a person into the UK for exploitation.

Their alleged victims were working in a number of different industries, including the food industry.

The pair have been bailed to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court on February 10.
