German police are conducting raids across the country to crack down on the alleged human trafficking of unskilled workers from outside the European Union.

Police search an apartment in Ritterhude, Germany, early Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021. Federal police in Berlin tweeted that the raids started at 7 a.m. local time on Wednesday.

Authorities said they were investigating around 20 suspects for suspected involvement in allegedly forging EU citizenship documents and placing the workers, most of them from Ukraine and Moldova, with large logistics companies. Authorities are investigating on suspected charges of trafficking foreigners, forgery of documents, organized illicit work and illegal employment.

“The investigations suggest that up to 1,000 employees may have entered the local labor market through the network of companies operated by the gang,” prosecutors and federal police said in their statement. “In connection with the searches, the task forces encountered 275 persons whose residence status is unclear and who are suspected of unauthorized residence and unauthorized employment.”
