The Taichung District Prosecutors' Office has indicted four people involved in a labour brokerage company on charges of exploiting migrant workers through wage manipulation.

According to prosecutors, the brokers also used other forms of exploitation by bringing migrant workers into Taiwan using "shell" manufacturing companies and illegally dispatching them to work at construction sites.

The Taichung Labour Affairs Bureau discovered that the brokerage firm had allegedly brought in a large number of foreign migrant workers under the names of manufacturing companies but sent them to work at construction companies after they arrived in Taiwan.
