Horse Farm Owner Acquitted of Exploitation, Convicted Under Aliens Act

The court has come to the conclusion that the boys worked on the farm and that it has not been about voluntary volunteer work, reports Ystads Allehanda.

Furthermore, the court assesses that the boys had "few free choices" when they ended up on the farm and that they were in a difficult situation there. But according to the court, the attack on their "freedom, peace and human dignity" has not been so great that it can be assessed as human exploitation.

Since the boys worked on the farm without a work permit, the farm owner is sentenced to a conditional sentence and 60 days' fines for a crime against the Aliens Act.
